From a literary master, the much-anticipated follow-up to the highly celebrated novel Gliff.
The New York Times has said of Ali Smith that "few writers on the world stage are producing fiction this offbeat and alluring." NPR has called her "flat-out brilliant." The Chicago Tribune has called her "one of the rarest creatures in the world: a really fearless novelist." With Gliff she brought her remarkable talents for the first time to a work set in an uncertain future, a novel described by Vogue as "chilling...Orwellian...a vivid portrait of a decaying civilization." And now with Glyph she gallops us back through history to tell a story hidden within the first, a story set in a moment of cultural revolution that examines in her trademark wit and intellect and compassion how we make meaning and how easily it can be lost forever if we don't hold on to those essential qualities that make us human.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. From a literary master, a novel of ghosts and history and family legacy, of the unexpected acts of care that shine light into our dark.Ghosts don't exist. They don't. End of. Story, however. It is haunting. Everything tells it. It all starts when Petra and her little sister Patch hear a horrifying story from the past and find themselves making up a ghost. Is it imaginary? Is it real?Then it all starts again thirty years later when Petra, now estranged from Patch, finds a phantom horse kicking the furniture to pieces in her bedroom. What to do? She phones her sister.In a chiarascuro dance through our increasingly antagonistic era, Glyph asks if were attending to the history thats made us and to the history were making. A funny, warm and clear-eyed take on where we are now, Glyph is about what our imaginations are for and how, in a broken, brutal and divided time, we rekindle care, solidarity, resistance and openness. This anti-war novel, Ali Smiths most soulful, playful and vital yet, is a work of lightness that goes deep to counter the forces currently flattening the modern world.
