Artful

Ali Smith's 'Artful' masterfully blends elements of fiction and critical essay, drawing inspiration from four lectures originally delivered at Oxford University: 'On Time', 'On Form', 'On Edge', and 'On Offer and On Reflection'. The narrative unfolds through the voice of a character haunted by the literal ghost of a former lover, a writer whose own profound lectures on art and literature echo throughout the text.
