Artful by Ali Smith
In 2012, Ali Smith delivered the Weidenfeld lectures on European comparative literature at St. Anne s College, Oxford. Those lectures, presented here, took the shape of discursive stories that refused to be tied down to either fiction or the essay form. Thus, Artful is narrated by a character who is haunted literally by a former lover, the writer of a series of lectures about art and literature. A hypnotic dialogue unfolds between storytelling and a meditation on art that encompasses love, grief, memory, and revitalization. Smith s heady powers as fiction writer harmonize with her keen perceptions as reader and critic to form a living thing that reminds us that art and life are never separate.Artful is a celebration of and meaningful contribution to literature s enduring worth in the world. There has never been a book quite like it.| SKU | Unavailable |
