Book of the Week: GLYPH by Ali Smith
Addressing our increasingly antagonistic and frightening times, Ali Smith’s new novel asks if we are attending to the history that made us and to the history that we are making. Smith’s playful writing, her sympathetic characters, and her seemingly inexhaustible reserves of knowedge and care, provide hopeful paths towards better lives, not only for her characters but also for us. Glyph is about what our imaginations are for and how, in a broken, brutal and divided time, we can rekindle care, solidarity, resistance and openness.
