Glyph
Glyph’s primary power comes from its commitment to excavating the sediments of language; its etymological resonance and inference . . . Smith’s tonal skill as a writer is also used to great effect when dealing with . . . bureaucratic, authoritarian absurdity . . . It is a bold move to be so morally unflinching, especially in the face of a perceived aesthetic orthodoxy that so often privileges distance and irony, but in Glyph we see a major British writer answering the call of the day when so many others have equivocated or turned away. There is also something about Smith’s relentless focus on language that makes her particularly well suited to the task . . . Smith’s sensibility is fine-tuned to grapple with the avalanche of passive-voice headlines, asymmetric categorisations, outright linguistic inversions and semantic absurdities that have accompanied the increasingly desperate attempts to justify the unjustifiable

Het vormeloze ongemak
Een jaar zonder slaapDe slapeloosheid van Samantha Harvey kwam schijnbaar uit het niets; een jaar lang brengt ze haar nachten door met het najagen van slaap die zelden komt. Zeheeft alles geprobeerd om het te verhelpen. Niets werkte. Wat gebeurt er als een van de basisbehoeften van de mens niet wordt vervuld? Voor Samantha Harvey leidde extreem slaaptekort tot een rauwe helderheid over het leven zelf. Het vormeloze ongemak is een verrassend inzichtelijke verkenning van herinneringen, schrijven, dood en verdriet, en de wil om te overleven.

In orbit
WINNAAR BOOKER PRIZE 2024 Een team astronauten verzamelt in een internationaal ruimtestation meteorologische gegevens en voert er wetenschappelijke experimenten uit. Maar meestal observeren ze. Gezamenlijk kijken ze naar de stille blauwe planeet, ze cirkelen eromheen, draaien langs continenten en door de seizoenen, ze zien gletsjers en woestijnen, de toppen van bergen en de deining van oceanen. Hoewel ze van de wereld afgescheiden zijn, kunnen ze toch niet ontsnappen aan de constante aantrekkingskracht van de aarde. Ze ontvangen het nieuws dat de moeder van een van hen is overleden en daarmee komen de gedachten op over een terugkeer naar huis. Ze kijken toe hoe een tyfoon zich samenpakt boven de mensen van wie ze houden, en zijn vol ontzag en angst. De kwetsbaarheid van het menselijk leven vult hun gesprekken, hun angsten en hun dromen. Zo ver van de aarde hebben ze zich nog nooit zo’n onderdeel ervan gevoeld.
