Meet my new favourite book. I love this writing style, which, privately, I call poetic prose. I want to read it again immediately but first I want to take some time to reflect and research about the real figures in this book. I feel like there are thin spiderweb strings going from this book in every direction, shining in the sun, making me want to learn so many new and beautiful things. This book is surreal both in it's show of reality and actually surreal text. It disregards space and time, interweaving stories and presenting labeled things in a new way. It makes you see the beautiful in the ugly. It gives hope. I love it. Can't wait to read more of Ali Smith.
