''I take my hat off to Ali Smith. Her writing lifts the soul'' Evening Standard
How to be both is a novel all about art''s versatility. Borrowing from painting''s fresco technique to make an original literary double-take, it''s a fast-moving genre-bending conversation between forms, times, truths and fictions. There''s a renaissance artist of the 1460s. There''s 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 real - and all life''s givens get given a second chance.
