Ali Smith's seasonal quartet, culminating in 'Companion Piece', presents a moral roadmap for living in the 21st century, culminating in her new dystopian work 'Gliff'.
In 'Gliff', we follow Bri and Rose, two sisters trafficked into this culture of Unverifiables, emblematic of a state that punishes non-conformity with bureaucratic brutality.
The story's backdrop—a relentless, faceless bureaucracy and a totalitarian regime—invites readers to delve into the origins of societal exclusions that echo deeply in today’s reality.
Smith’s new era of literature contrasts the intimate, empathetic prose of her earlier works, making 'Gliff' a chilling yet compelling exploration of identity and survival.
