A magical hybrid that refuses to be tied down to either fiction or the essay form, \u003ci\u003eArtful\u003c\/i\u003e is narrated by a character who is haunted—literally—by a former lover, the writer of a series of lectures about art and literature. Ali Smith’s heady powers as a novelist and short story writer harmonize with her keen perceptions as a reader and critic to form a living thing that reminds us that life and art are never separate.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077128077552,"sku":"9781101605837","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101605837_p0.jpg?v=1763758915","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101605837","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
