Description



About the Book



Set in the present day, Gliff begins when a young woman inherits a suitcase from her late grandmother, with no information other than the word "GLIFF" on a tag. Unsure whether it's someone's name or a description of the contents, she opens it and finds a thin piece of glued parchment: a mixture of worn, waxy fabric and a dry, brittle substance she can't identify. "Ali Smith's miraculous Gliff is both a bleak vision of an authoritarian future and a tender, hilarious, and ultimately inspiring portrait of two young siblings struggling to escape it. [...] A ray of hope after a year like this."



About the Author



Ali Smith (Inverness, 1964). Tuvo una madre irlandesa, un padre inglés y una educación escocesa (hasta que comenzó su doctorado en Newnham College, Cambridge). A los veinte años, después de que un debilitante ataque de síndrome de fatiga crónica descarriló su carrera académica, comenzó a escribir. Ahora, autora de ocho novelas y seis colecciones de cuentos, crea lo que podría llamarse ficción experimental, pero con un estilo fácil, agradable y de emocionante lectura. Escribe en The Guardian, The Scotsman y el Times Library Supplement. Actualmente vive en Cambridge. Es la autora de Free Love, Like, Other Stories and Other Stories, Hotel World, Public Library, entre otras obras.
