We're delighted to have published a special issue on the narraitve ethics of Ali Smith's Seasonal Quartet, edited by Agnes Andeweg (Utrecht University) and Jesse van Amelsvoort (University of Amsterdam). The articles published in this special issue originated at the MLA International Symposium held in Glasgow in June 2022, which was themed "Being Hospitable: Languages and Cultures Across Borders." As they write in their editorial introduction, "re-reading these four novels now, a few years after publication, offers a wonderful opening to reflect on the connections between the art of narrative and the politics of the present."
