Gliff

Beschreibung

"From a literary master, a moving and genre-bending story about our era-spanning search for meaning and knowing. Gliff explores how and why we endeavor to make a mark on the world. In a time when western industry wants to reduce us to algorithms and data-something easily categorizable and predictable-Smith shows us why our humanity, our individual complexities, matter more than ever."--

Rezensionen

Here is a voice that moves with lightness and precision, where bravery and goodness triumph in spirit over jeopardy and fear . . . Smith is good at fable-ising, and at taking a young perspective in order to question afresh systems and inherited knowledge . . . Smith's fiction teaches with vitality that there is no such thing as a futile question Financial Times
