| | | From the award-winning author of "The Accidental" comes this dazzlingly inventive new collection of stories in which Smith portrays a world of everyday dislocation, where people nevertheless find connection, mystery, and love. Annotation: Scottish novelist and Whitbread-winner Ali Smith plays with form, structure, and voice in these twelve devilishly imaginative, peculiar, and funny short stories.
| Praise| "[Smith's] short fiction teasingly strips narrative of its everyday garments of plot and characterization, to see how much fun can be had with what's underneath...Smith is so funny...a fine book." - Anthony Cummins 10/03/2008 "[Q]uirky and compulsively readable, this collection puts a layered and enjoyable spin on the many forms of the short story." 10/11/2008 |
