How to Be Both by Ali Smith

5.0

Something I didn't realise when I was reading this is that the order of the two narratives that make up this book is different in every copy. I started with Francescho's half first. Love how Ali Smith is so playful with words, and how she delves into concepts like art, life, time, gender, love, death in such a clever and complex, yet weirdly digestible and light way. A bit like a modern Orlando. Yes yes !
