Marble by Amalie Smith

Amalie Smith ignites everyday encounters into sites of revelation and metamorphosis

"Everything connectsIn that Ali Smith/Isabel Waidner way, Amalie Smith manages to stuff a lot of topics in an economic way... Enriching and rewarding." - The Bobsphere; "A resolute novel that, by virtue of its mix of literary suggestion, aesthetic experience and art historical insight, makes something that is simultaneously straightforwardly concrete and almost incomprehensibly abstract come alive." - Jon Helt Haarder, Jyllands-Posten; "Marble is not reminiscent of much else, but that does not make it odd. Just beautifully its own. It is made of the stuff art and literature is made of. In excess." - Soren Kassebeer, Berlingske; "Amalie Smith brings marble to life." - Ask Hansen, Politiken; "Candescently cool." - Weekendavisen; "Admirably vivid." - Information
