The Conversation: Ali Smith

A conversation with the sublimely gifted writer about her two latest novels Gliff and Glyph, that continue her extraordinary sequence of books exploring contemporary life and language.

“Ali Smith’s miraculous Gliff is at once a pitch-black take on the authoritarian future and a tender, hilarious and ultimately uplifting portrait of two young siblings as they battle to escape it.” – Irish Times.

Glyph is “ a playful, melancholy story of sibling bonds, unreliable memory and the tales we use to keep the dead close. It’s also a powerful anti-war novel, with Palestine firmly in its sights” ― Observer.

Chaired by Peter Florence.

The interview lasts for an hour followed by a 30-minute public Q&A, then a book-signing and informal conversation. It is also being live-streamed. For livestream tickets, visit here.
