Ali Smith Explores Language And Trauma

Ali Smith publishes Glyph on April 3, 2026, a novel that revisits themes from her 2024 book Gliff while examining language, war, surveillance and the cultural effects of AI. The non-chronological story of two sisters uses wordplay, motifs and metafiction to probe literal and symbolic flattening, arguing that narrative and imagination offer resilience against technological and political erasure.
