Many of Ali Smith's stories are set in Scotland; they often involve bookstores, are sometimes suffused with magic realism, and tend to be told in the second person singular. Her characters range from a woman who is making a boat out of used copies of THE GREAT GATSBY to another who falls in love with a tree. These 12 short, humorous, and wildly inventive tales are by the author of HOTEL WORLD, which was shortlisted for the Booker in 2001.
