Story
31. Dezember. Steuererklärung, Wohnung putzen, Bett für die Tochter zusammenschrauben, Lebenswerk schreiben, mit dem Rauchen aufhören – eigentlich wollte Lars, neunundvierzigjähriger Vieldenker und angehender Schriftsteller, die Lücke zwischen den Jahren dafür nutzen, endlich alles zu erledigen, was in den letzten Dekaden so auf der Strecke geblieben ist. Doch die Woche, in der noch alles zu schaffen gewesen wäre – plötzlich ist sie aufgebraucht. Der letzte Tag des Jahres hat begonnen – mit Nieselregen, wie sonst? Das Haus ist immer noch chaotisch. Das Leben sowieso.

Story
Originally four lectures given by Ali Smith at Oxford University, Artful is a tidal wave of ideas in four thematically organised bursts of thought: On Time, On Form, On Edge and On Offer and On Reflection. Refusing to be tied down to either fiction or the essay form, Artful is narrated by a character who is haunted - literally - by a former lover, the writer of a series of lectures about art and literature. Full of both the poignancy and humour of fiction and all the sideways insights and jaunty angles you would expect from Ali Smith’s criticism

"Elos von Bergen war nicht einfach irgendein Spurensucher. Er war es, der das Rätsel des Obelisken von Tarnok gelöst hat. Er brachte der Gräfin von Oberlinden ihren Greifen zurück. Er fing den Traummörder von Altschwanenberg. Er war der berühmteste Spurensucher der Verlorenen Provinzen. Wobei er sich selbst nie als Spurensucher bezeichnet hätte. Elos von Bergen war Spurenfinder." Elos von Bergen hat das Spurenfinden eigentlich an den Nagel gehängt, seit ein Fall mit einem nachtragenden Nachtmagier ihn und seine Kinder Ada und Naru fast das Leben gekostet hätte.
