<p>I was pleasantly surprised to get my hands on Glyph, by Ali Smith, with only one person ahead of me who had a hold on it at the library. Maybe she&#x27;s not as well-known as I thought? </p><p>I think Ali Smith has brilliant moments in her use of narrative to comment on contemporary social issues. I have not fully connected with all of her work, but her Seasonal Quartet is my absolute favorite. Each season is a separate book, and presents a story within a story. You start with Autumn and work your way to Summer. Winter resonated with me the most, with that whip-smart dialogue. Right now, I&#x27;m skimming Gliff to make sure I remember the characters and the setting well enough to read Glyph, and ruminate on what the use of homonyms and different meanings might mean for the story.</p><p><a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a> <br>@<span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> </p><p>Have you heard of author Ali Smith, and are you from the UK, or outside the UK?</p> <div class="poll"> <h3 style="display: none;">Options: <small>(choose one)</small></h3> <ul> <li> <label class="poll-option"> <input style="display:none" name="vote-options" type="radio" value="0"> <span class="poll-number" title="0 votes">0%</span> <span class="poll-option-text">Heard of her, in the UK</span> </label> </li> <li> <label class="poll-option"> <input style="display:none" name="vote-options" type="radio" value="0"> <span class="poll-number" title="0 votes">0%</span> <span class="poll-option-text">Heard of her, not UK</span> </label> </li> <li> <label class="poll-option"> <input style="display:none" name="vote-options" type="radio" value="0"> <span class="poll-number" title="0 votes">0%</span> <span class="poll-option-text">Never Heard, in the UK</span> </label> </li> <li> <label class="poll-option"> <input style="display:none" name="vote-options" type="radio" value="0"> <span class="poll-number" title="0 votes">0%</span> <span class="poll-option-text">Never Heard, not UK</span> </label> </li> </ul> <div class="poll-footer"> <span class="vote-total">0 votes</span> &mdash; <span class="vote-end">Ended 11d ago</span> <span class="todo">Polls are currently display only</span> </div> </div>
