Ali Smith is a writer, born in 1962 in Inverness, Scotland, to working-class parents. She was raised in a council house in Inverness and now lives in Cambridge. She studied at Aberdeen, and then at Cambridge, for a Ph.D. that was never finished. In a 2004 interview with writing magazine Mslexia, she talked briefly about the difficulty of becoming ill with chronic fatigue syndrome for a year and how it forced her to give up her job as a lecturer at University of Strathclyde to focus on what she really wanted to do: writing. Openly gay, she has been with her partner Sarah Wood for 17 years and dedicates all her books to her.
A breathtakingly inventive new novel from the Man Booker-shortlisted and Baileys Prize-winning author of How to be both
Fusing Keatsian mists and mellow fruitfulness with the vitality, the immediacy and the colour-hit of Pop Art - via a bit of very contemporary skulduggery and skull-diggery - Autumn is a witty excavation of the present by the past. The novel is a stripped-branches take on popular culture, and a meditation, in a world growing ever more bordered and exclusive, on what richness and worth are, what harvest means.
Autumn is the first installment in Ali Smith's novel quartet Seasonal: four standalone books, separate yet interconnected and cyclical (as the seasons are), exploring what time is, how we experience it, and the recurring markers in the shapes our lives take and in our ways with narrative.
From the imagination of the peerless Ali Smith comes a shape-shifting series, wide-ranging in timescale and light-footed through histories, and a story about ageing and time and love and stories themselves.
再次迴頭精讀瞭《鞦》這本意識流小說。喜歡此書最初源於它的封麵裝幀,絢爛而有層次的色彩,仿佛可以融閤,卻又各有邊界。看得久瞭,眼睛迷濛之時,竟然將少女與男子的頭平移重疊在一起瞭。鞦就在這樣的色彩指引下,讓我走近瞭它。小說開頭,反復默哀“這是最糟糕的時代”。糟...
評分這本小說不好讀,語言跳躍,敘事非常意識流、很多隱喻的手法,讀這本書要好好瞭解創作背景,英國民眾脫歐後的種種現實,例如小說那個警戒圍欄的描寫,在聽到當局政府對難民的處理態度後,母親最後拿壓力管去砸警戒圍欄,還有路上見到兩個人吵架說“我是英國來的,又不是歐洲”...

評分生存是一個人活著沒法去選擇的事情,而年齡則是生存的標誌,它代錶的不僅僅是生存,還有我們逝去的青春,以及迴不去的從前。 人總會在不同的時期對自己的人生有不同的感悟,關於生存,關於夢想,關於未來,關於老去,這都是我們拋卻不瞭的話題。我們不得不麵對,也必須去麵對,...
