From the MAN BOOKER PRIZE-SHORTLISTED and BAILEYS PRIZE-WINNING author of How to
be both and the critically acclaimed Seasonal quartet
'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.
