Nimble, playful, canny, subversive – four-time Booker-shortlisted Ali Smith returns to the Festival with Gliff. Written with her singular blend of whimsy and gravitas, the novel is a near-future dystopia, meditating on themes of resistance, the making of meaning, and how we can confront dark times with hope. Hear one of fiction's finest voices talking about a novel that, according to The Bee Sting author Paul Murray, is both 'pitch-black' and 'tender, hilarious, and ultimately uplifting'. Chaired by Sarah Wood.
