A review by clovemorris
Spring by Ali Smith

5.0

I'm incredibly biased toward Ali Smith, my favorite author. Or maybe she just continuously proves her writing to me over and over. She's the master of word play and analogy. She manages to be whimsical while writing about the depravity of brothels. Somehow, she consistently manages to evoke hope in her readers while writing about the deeply personal and relevant matters that plague our headlines without diminishing our capacity for grief. Spring is all of these things in the most common and beautiful of prose and I only anticipate it growing in depth and relevancy in future rereads and with greater familiarity with the history and artists from whom she draws inspiration.
