Ali Smith |
| Ali Smith was born in Inverness in 1962 and lives in Cambridge. She is the author of Free Love, Like, Other Stories and Other Stories, Hotel World (shortlisted for both the Booker Prize and the Orange Prize in 2001) and The Whole Story and Other Stories. Ali Smith won The Arts Foundation 2001 Award for Short Story Writing and she reviews regularly for the Guardian, the Scotsman and the TLS. |
| the accidental, Ali Smith’s first full-length novel, is an outstanding portrayal of a 12–year-old girl. Astrid is spending the summer in a holiday home with her family in Norfolk. It’s a substandard house in a substandard town and she knows for sure nothing’s going to happen there all substandard summer. So she starts filming the dawn breaking each morning on her Sony digital camera. Essentially a modern-day reworking of Pasolini's 1968 film Theorem, this remarkable novel is at once dazzlingly bright and profoundly dark. |
