Glass and God

**Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2026**

Anne Carson's first full-length publication in Britain, Glass and God introduces an assured and challenging voice: vivid, laconic, precise.

Her 'Short Talks' are about everything from Sylvia Plath to Franz Kafka, from waterproofing to walking backwards; the brilliant long poem 'The Glass Essay' deals with the end of a contemporary love affair but is haunted by the Brontë sisters.

Blending the modern and the classical, Anne Carson writes with an intensity and an integrity that is transfiguring.
