Hamish Hamilton has revealed the cover and more details of Ali Smith's new book, Companion Piece, which will publish on 7th April 2022.
The publisher said the new novel is "a standalone fiction" but also "one which naturally arises from the dazzling Man Booker-shortlisted Orwell Prize-winning Seasonal quartet".
It was described as a "celebration of companionship in all its timeless and contemporary, legendary and unpindownable, spellbinding and shapeshifting forms". Like the Seasonal quartet, it is being written and published in as close as possible to real time.
Simon Prosser, publishing director said: "Every new book from Ali is a gift and a revelation — no one brings the world to story and story to the world like she does. We are blessed to have her among us, lighting the way."
