«There But for The» is the satirical novel by Ali Smith, published by Penguin Books in paperback (288 pages, in English).
During a dinner in London, a guest goes up to a room in the house and locks himself in without explanation; his gesture triggers reactions from hosts, fellow diners and neighbors. With that starting point, Ali Smith builds a satire on identity, personal space and social relations, with several narrative voices.
