A review by corpuslibris
The First Person and Other Stories by Ali Smith

2.0

I've love both of the novels of hers that I've read, but on the whole I've been less blown away with her short stories. There were certainly a few good ones in this new collection, a couple with absurd topics or twists that made me think. Smith has a dry wit and a level of wordplay that strikes me as particularly British, akin to some of Jeanette Winterson's short stories. But not as good as Hotel World or The Accidental.
