The new novel by one of the most outstanding authors of the last decades. Ali Smith dazzles us with Fragua, a book that closes the famous seasonal Quartet. One day, in post-Brexit Britain and in the midst of the pandemic, artist Sandy Gray receives an unexpected phone call from a college acquaintance, Martina Pelf. Martina is calling Sandy for help with a mysterious question she's been asked after spending half a day locked in a room by border control officers for no reason she can understand... Jumping back in time, Fragua features the story of a blacksmith who made beautiful pieces centuries ago and who was persecuted and marked. A story of restrictions and a fight for freedom that is intertwined with the story of Sandy thanks to an exceptional lock created by the blacksmith and which comes into the hands of Martina Pelf. A hopeful novel, which can be read as a coda to the famous Seasonal Quartet, in which Ali Smith brings us again an intelligent and moving novel, thoughtful and playful.
Autorenporträt
Ali Smith (Inverness, 1964) Tuvo una madre irlandesa, un padre inglés y una educación escocesa (hasta que comenzó su doctorado en Newnham College, Cambridge). A los veinte años, después de que un debilitante ataque de síndrome de fatiga crónica descarrilara su carrera académica, comenzó a escribir. Ahora, autora de ocho novelas y seis colecciones de cuentos, crea lo que podría llamarse ficción experimental, pero con un estilo fácil, agradable y de emocionante lectura. Escribe en The Guardian, The Scotsman y el Times Library Supplement.
