USA: Pantheon Books, 2008. Hardcover. used-good condition, includes dust jacket in good condition/Yes. 5.75x8.5. “The First Person: And Other Stories” (2009) by Ali Smith, is a collection of short stories set in a world of everyday dislocation, where people nevertheless find connection, mystery, and love. These tales are of ordinary but poignant beauty: at the pub, strangers regale each other with memories of Christmases past; lovers share tales over dinner about how they met, their former lovers, and each other; a woman even tells a story to her fourteen-year-old self. As the award-winning author explores the subtle links between what we know and what we feel, she creates an exuberant, masterly collection that is packed full of ideas, humor, nuance, and compassion. Ali Smith and the short story are made for each other. 207 pages.
