β¦ Synopsis
Passionate, compassionate, vitally inventive and scrupulously playful, Ali Smithβs novels are like nothing else. Borrowing from paintingβs fresco technique to make an original literary double-take, How to be both*Β is a novel all about artβs versatility. Itβs a fast-moving genre-bending conversation between forms, times, truths and fictions. Thereβs a Renaissance artist of the 1460s. Thereβs the child of a child of the 1960s. Two tales of love and injustice twist into a singular yarn where time gets timeless, structural gets playful, knowing gets mysterious, fictional gets realβand all lifeβs givens get given a second chance.
