When a dinner-party guest named Miles locks himself in an upstairs room and refuses to come out, he sets off a media frenzy. Miles communicates only by cryptic notes slipped under the door. He also sets in motion a mesmerizing puzzle of a novel, one that harnesses acrobatic verbal playfulness to a truly affecting story.
But while the characters' wit and wordplay soar, their story remains profoundly grounded. We see him through the eyes of four people who barely know him, ranging from a precocious child to a confused elderly woman. As it probes our paradoxical need for both separation and true connection, "There but for the" balances cleverness with compassion, the surreal with the deeply, movingly real, in a way that only Ali Smith can.
