Ali Smith

Forfatterbiografi

Ali Smith (født 24. august 1962 i Inverness, Skotland) er en skotsk forfatter, dramatiker og journalist. Hun arbejder på tværs af genrer som roman, novelle og essays og er kendt for en eksperimenterende, litterær fortællestil, hvor sprog, form og samtidens temaer ofte væves sammen med referencer til kunst og kultur. Smiths gennembrud kom med debutsamlingen Free Love and Other Stories (1995), som vandt Saltire Society Scottish First Book of the Year Award og Scottish Arts Council Book Award. Hun fortsatte med anmelderroste romaner som Like (1997), Hotel World (2001) og The Accidental (2005), hvor flere udvalgte værker blev shortlistet til Booker Prize og Orange Prize, og Hotel World samt The Accidental blev også belønnet med Encore Award og Whitbread Novel Award. Senere har hun blandt andet vundet Goldsmiths Prize og modtaget Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction, hvilket har styrket hendes position som en af Storbritanniens mest markante stemmer i moderne litteratur. Hendes betydning rækker ud over prislisten: Smith har været med til at udvide romanens muligheder gennem formeksperimenter og en skarp, humanistisk optik på relationer og historie.
