'Artful is a revelation; a new kind of book altogether . . . it could have only been written by Ali Smith . . . makes you glad to be alive' Jackie Kay Narrated by a character who is
haunted - literally - by a former lover, Artful slips slyly between
fiction and essay, guiding the reader thrillingly through a sequence of
ideas on art and literature. With Smith's trademark humour,
inventiveness, poignancy and critical insight, this is unique experiment
in form, style, life, love, death, immortality and what art can mean.
Based on four electrifying lectures given by the author at Oxford
University, and exploring the explosive connections between art, story,
memory and grief - Artful is a tidal wave of ideas to blast away the
cobwebs and change how you see the world.
'Playful and
audacious' Independent'Powerful and moving' London Review of Books
'Magical... Blending of criticism and fiction, Artful belongs in a genre
of its own . . Joyful for anyone interested in the art of writing, and living, well' Anita Sethi, New Statesman
