<p><b>'Playful, bold, tender . . . in <i>Glyph</i> we see a major British writer answering the call of the day' </b><i><b>Guardian</b><br><br>Ghosts don't exist. </i><br><i>They don't. End of. </i><br><i>Story, however. </i><br><i>It is haunting. </i><br><i>Everything tells it. </i><br><br>It all starts when Petra and her little sister Patch hear a horrifying story from the past and find themselves making up a ghost.<br>Is it imaginary? Is it real?<br><br>Then it all starts again thirty years later when Petra, now estranged from Patch, finds a phantom horse kicking the furniture to pieces in her bedroom.<br>What to do? She phones her sister.<br><br>In a chiaroscuro dance through our increasingly antagonistic era, <i>Glyph</i> asks if we're attending to the history that's made us and to the history we're making. A funny, warm and clear-eyed take on where we are now, <i>Glyph</i> is about what our imaginations are for and how, in a broken, brutal and divided time, we rekindle care, solidarity, resistance and openness.<br><br>This anti-war novel, Ali Smith's most soulful, playful and vital yet, is a work of lightness that goes deep to counter the forces currently flattening the modern world.<br><br>A standalone novel, it's family to <i>Gliff </i>(2024).</p>
