A playful, form-bending novel from the Booker Prize-shortlisted, Women's Prize-winning author of How to be both and the critically acclaimed Seasonal quartet
'Playful and audacious' Independent
Narrated by a character who is haunted - literally - by a former lover, Artful slips slyly between fiction and essay, guiding the reader thrillingly through a sequence of ideas on art and literature. With Smith's trademark humour, inventiveness, poignancy and critical insight, this is unique experiment in form, style, life, love, death, immortality and what art can mean.
Based on four electrifying lectures given by the author at Oxford University, and exploring the explosive connections between art, story, memory and grief - Artful is a tidal wave of ideas to blast away the cobwebs and change how you see the world.
*****
'Artful is a revelation; a new kind of book altogether . . . makes you glad to be alive' Jackie Kay
'Powerful and moving' London Review of Books
'Blending of criticism and fiction, Artful belongs in a genre of its own . . . Joyful for anyone interested in the art of writing, and living, well' Anita Sethi, New Statesman

haunted by a lover
Our narrator is haunted. No, but quite literally preoccupied by a past lover. The book is divided into four different sequences, each one a various story on how to view life. And as we know Ali Smith, obviously with a touch of critical thinking and questioning social morals and the system. This story, as so many of her, is written in a beautifully poetic language and doesn't miss a joke about life as we have it right now. With her funny and deep way of composing she forces us to deal with the idea of art and literature. "Artful" slips between fiction and essay. And so does one's perception of art in the end. Definitely her most creativ and dreamy work.
