ALI SMITH'Endlessly inventive' THE TIMES'Thoroughly pleasurable' DAILY TELEGRAPH'One of the most brilliant British writers working today.' SPECTATORWho decides the rules of the games we play?In August 2007, or thereabouts, a young philosopher leaves Oslo, heading for Greece, on a mission to find Theodoros Apostolakis, the head of the Society of Lost Things. Fortunately, Apostolakis isn't lost, but everything else is: ancient libraries, entire civilisations, priceless books and a beautiful box, once used to play the world-famous game of Seven. The hunt for this small thing, among the countless lost things, becomes an absurdist quest through time and space: from the earliest human societies to the advent of AI. Told, shared and mythologised by our narrator, along with a wild cast of dreamers, philosophers, poets, rebels and optimists, Seven is an extraordinary, uplifting journey through an ever darkening world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joanna Kavenna","offers":[{"title":"288 pages \/ 15\/01\/2026 \/ Fiction: special features","offer_id":57299742359927,"sku":"9780571338153","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780571338153.jpg?v=1783951427","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780571338153","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
