Description - The First Person and Other Stories by Ali Smith
'A bold and brilliant collection of stories by a writer unafraid to give it to us as it is' The Times
Distinguished by Smith's trademark ability to unearth flashes of truth and depth in the everyday, The First Person and Other Stories sparkles with warmth and humanity.

Fans of Ali Smith will be delighted, amused and moved by these stories from a writer at the very top of her game.
