Assoc for Scottish LiteratureAli Smith wins the 2026 Dublin Literary Award for her novel GLIFF
“Through the eyes of two young protagonists navigating an increasingly authoritarian society, we are reminded that courage is not always loud, but it is always consequential. At a moment when democracy across the world can too often feel fragile, this novel is a powerful reminder that freedom, dignity and democratic values should never be taken for granted.”
