What was I supposed to get from this book, what was the purpose? I agreed politically on Brexit and her observations of the good and bad... the art bit though just didn’t feel needed and dragged me away from what I was loving. The novel is a paean to the power of language, and to the mystery of human interaction, and to the way small daily gestures of kindness can reverberate and magnify upon themselves across the years. In it we follow two main characters: Elisabeth Demand, who is thirty-two, single and is a lecturer in history of art.   Was it a Brexit novel? It's not so much 'reading between the lines' as being blinded by the light between the lines - in a good way * Deborah Levy * Publisher's description. Autumn was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2017 and Winter was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize 2018.   US$13.19 This the first in Ali Smith’s Seasons tetralogy and allegedly the first post-Brexit novel.
4.5 stars from me.My fourth book from the Booker longlist, this is another that, like My fourth book from the Booker longlist, this is another that, like My thoughts are all over the place for this book – maybe fitting because this is what this book is as well: all over the place. The United Kingdom is in pieces, divided by a historic once-in-a-generation summer.Because, with respect, the award was for the book rather than if you liked it or not. There is undeniable brilliance here: sentences so profound they made me stop in my tracks, word plays so wonderful I had to read them twice, musing on a great number of important things. This is what this book felt like for a while. Will be heading to Winter soon. That's absolutely my favorite thing about her books. Horripilating, is that the word? US$11.34 * Financial Times, Books of the Year * The novel of the year is obviously Ali Smith's Autumn, which managed the miracle of making at least a kind of sense out of post-Brexit Britain. Smith can give the impression of voicing aloud her thoughts the moment she has them.   There’s a long time between each breath in and out. There is no proper coherence in life and in art and Ali Smith captures this perfectly.I'm not sure I can do justice to reviewing this or explaining what it is about - I suspect each time it's read, a new layer is revealed and it becomes something quite different. https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/books/autumn-by-ali-smith-revie… Autumn 2016: the UK is in pieces, divided by a historic once-in-a-generation summer.

US$8.39   I mean it’s still BRILLIANT because it’s Ali Smith. I read a few pages more, and my hand reached out to my chest. Ali Smith: Autumn. We’d love your help.
* Penguin * I wonder: How does she manage to so wonderfully weave in and out of time, to layer time, while creating something that feels like it was written this morning after she read today's newspaper? But it also talks about a strange friendship between a little girl (presently grown up) and an old man. US$8.92 US$10.25 At the time, Daniel collected “arty art”, including the work of real-life artist In the uneasy present of Smith’s novel, the EU referendum has just occurred and Britain is full of “people saying stuff to each other and none of it actually becoming dialogue”:All across the country, there was misery and rejoicing. Ali Smith speaks with book blogger Eric Karl Anderson about her moving and inventive novel, Autumn. In many ways reminded me of my recent reading of Alice in Wonderland, a mix of the real and fantastic, full to the brim with intertextuality and metaphor. There were some interesting partI don’t know.
