External Reviews
‘Miraculous . . . tender, hilarious and ultimately uplifting. A ray of hope’ - Paul Murray, Irish Times.
'Ali Smith stakes her claim amongst the most inventive living British writers . . . Gliff is another fizzing firework display, with conceptual shenanigans and running prose put in the service of hot-button social issues . . . a freewheeling narrative that mixes jeopardy-laden drama with restless digression on everything from agrochemicals to AI.' - Daily Mail.
‘A voice that moves with lightness and precision, where bravery and goodness triumph in spirit over jeopardy and fear’ - Financial Times.
‘One of Smith’s most propulsive stories - a dark adventure with high stakes, which is still a sparklingly crisp read. A new Ali Smith book is always an event’ - Holly Williams, i Paper.
‘Ali Smith’s marvellous Gliff considers the complexities of our present moment and the thorny, bridling potential of possible futures with wit, care and craft. A masterpiece of storytelling about storytelling, exploring the delighting, dangerous power of language and connectivity’ - Eley Williams.
'If Smith’s recent books were a handbook for 21st Century life, Gliff is a warning as to what will happen if we ignore their lessons.' - The Observer.
