Recenzii

Ever-inventive...Autumn is the first serious Brexit novel...In a country apparently divided against itself, a writer such as Smith is more valuable than a whole parliament of politicians.
In a country apparently divided against itself, a writer such asSmith is more valuable than a whole parliament of politicians
Bold and brilliant, dealing with the body blow of Brexit to offer us something rare: hope
Humour, grace, solace...A light-footed meditation on mortality, mutability and how to keep your head in troubled times
Transcendentalwriting about art, death and all the dimensions of love. It's not so much 'reading between the lines' as being blinded by the light between the lines - in a good way
Thenovel of the yearis obviously Ali Smith's Autumn, which managed the miracle of making at least a kind of sense out of post-Brexit Britain
Autumnis a beautiful, poignant symphonyof memories, dreams and transient realities
Experimental, thematically complex, associative, time-juggling,powered by a crazed and energetic curiosity
Pure literary magic
Puckish, yetelegant; angry, but comforting. Long may she Remain that way
A wonderfully risky project...an ambitious, multi-layered creation...anenergising and upliftingstory
A moving exploration of the intricacies of the imagination, a sly teasing-out of a host of big ideas and small revelations, all hovering around a timeless quandary: how to observe, how to be
I wonder: How does she manage to so wonderfully weave in and out of time, to layer time, while creating something that feels like it was written this morning after she read today's newspaper?
Publisher's description. Autumn 2016: the UK is in pieces, divided by a historic once-in-a-generation summer. Love is won, love is lost. The seasons roll round as ever. From the imagination of the peerless Ali Smith comes a shape-shifting, light-footed, time-travelling novel. This is a story about right now, this minute; about ageing and time and love and stories themselves. Here comes Autumn.
The book I'd like to receive for Christmas: Ali Smith'sAutumn.
Fantastic writing, big ideas and generosity of spirit
[Ali Smith] is Scotland's Nobel laureate-in-waiting - and I can't wait for her new book
[Ali Smith] is simply incapable of writing a dull paragraph
