Воображению одного из самых одаренных британских писателей Али Смит почти нет равных. "Осень" – это роман-коллаж, состоящий из обрывков памяти, размышлений о природе искусства, комических эпизодов из современности.

Autumn 2016: the UK is in pieces, divided by a historic once-in-a-generation summer. Love is won, love is lost. The seasons roll round as ever. From the imagination of the peerless Ali Smith comes a shape-shifting, light-footed, time-travelling novel.

Autumn is a take on popular culture and a meditation in a world growing ever more bordered; what constitutes richness and worth? Autumn is the first instalment in Seasonal: four standalone books, separate yet interconnected and cyclical, exploring what time is and how we experience it.
