书籍简介

《字形》一个关于想象与抵抗的萦绕心头的故事

Ghosts don't exist.

They don't. End of.

Story, however.

It is haunting.

Everything tells it.

故事始于佩特拉和她的小妹妹帕奇听到一个来自过去的恐怖故事，并开始编造鬼魂。它是虚构的吗？还是真实存在的？

三十年后，一切再次开始。如今与帕奇疏远的佩特拉发现，一匹幽灵般的马正在她的卧室里踢翻家具。她该怎么办？她打电话给妹妹。

在明暗交织的笔触下，《字形》在我们这个日益敌对的时代中，提出了一个问题：我们是否关注塑造我们的历史，以及我们正在创造的历史？这部作品以幽默、温暖而又清醒的视角审视着我们当下的处境，探讨了想象力的意义所在，以及在这个破碎、残酷、分裂的时代，我们如何重燃关爱、团结、抵抗和心灵。

这部反战小说是阿里·史密斯迄今为止富有灵魂、轻松诙谐、也具生命力的作品，它以轻盈的笔触深刻地对抗着当下正在摧毁现代世界的种种力量。

这是一部独立小说，与《格利夫》（2024）系列有关联。

Glyph: A Haunting Story of Imagination and Resistance

Ghosts don’t exist. They don’t. End of. Story, however. It is haunting. Everything tells it.

It all starts when Petra and her little sister Patch hear a horrifying story from the past and find themselves making up a ghost. Is it imaginary? Is it real?

Then it all starts again thirty years later when Petra, now estranged from Patch, finds a phantom horse kicking the furniture to pieces in her bedroom. What to do? She phones her sister.

In a chiaroscuro dance through our increasingly antagonistic era, Glyph asks if we’re attending to the history that’s made us and to the history we’re making. A funny, warm and clear-eyed take on where we are now, Glyph is about what our imaginations are for and how, in a broken, brutal and divided time, we rekindle care, solidarity, resistance and openness.

This anti-war novel, Ali Smith’s most soulful, playful and vital yet, is a work of lightness that goes deep to counter the forces currently flattening the modern world.

A standalone novel, it’s family to Gliff (2024).
