Ali Smith is a writer, born in 1962 in Inverness, Scotland, to working-class parents. She was raised in a council house in Inverness and now lives in Cambridge. She studied at Aberdeen, and then at Cambridge, for a Ph.D. that was never finished. In a 2004 interview with writing magazine Mslexia, she talked briefly about the difficulty of becoming ill with chronic fatigue syndrome for a year and how it forced her to give up her job as a lecturer at University of Strathclyde to focus on what she really wanted to do: writing. Openly gay, she has been with her partner Sarah Wood for 17 years and dedicates all her books to her.

This collection of 12 intriguing short stories, by British novelist and Booker nominee Smith (Hotel World, 2001), is long on atmospherics and short on conventional plotting. In “The Child,” a woman goes grocery shopping, but her mundane chore turns surreal when she encounters an angelic-looking abandoned baby, whom she attempts to help. When the child begins spewing hateful misognynistic and racist jokes, the woman decides that reabandonment is the best way to go. In “I Know Something You Don’t Know,” a mother distraught over her son’s deadly illness calls up two alternative healers she finds in the Yellow Pages. One robs her blind, while the other makes only a feeble attempt to read the boy’s fortune. If Smith excels at creating, both in her stories and in her readers, a sense of eerie dislocation, she can also stir up an enchanting sense of whimsy, as in “The Third Person,” which posits a dozen beguiling scenarios for the future of a relationship, noting the “endlesss music that’s there between people, waiting to be played.” --Joanne Wilkinson

Ali Smith的書對我來說還是實驗性太強瞭- - 雖然時不時會有讓人不免內心一顫的小橋段,讀起來很新鮮奇妙,大半故事一遍下來還是糊裏糊塗。

像是概念性的專輯,幾乎每個故事都藏著一個記憶的碎片,像引用的門羅對短篇小說的看法:Every short story is at least two short stories. 最後一個故事又是一封情書,甜死人不償命的ali smith。

算frame-within-a-frame嗎? Mise en abyme? 尤其Fidelio and Bess可能最明顯. 喜歡true short story-a cage in search of a bird; the child也好玩 可能是畫麵感+有些笑話沒聽過的新鮮感; the history of history感覺像沒完 revealing one's true self? 但結尾她沒跳齣來說幾句感覺好不完整; no exit半夜看得我也睡不著瞭 被睏住瞭嗎有被救齣來嗎
