Passionate, compassionate, vitally inventive, and scrupulously playful, Ali Smithâs novels are like nothing else.
How to be both is a novel all about the versatility of art. Borrowing from paintingâs fresco technique to make an original literary double-take, itâs a fast-moving, genre-bending conversation among forms, times, truths, and fictions. Thereâs a Renaissance artist of the 1460s. Thereâs the child of a child of the 1960s. Two tales of love and injustice twist into a singular yarn where time gets timeless, structure gets playful, knowing gets mysterious, fictional gets realâand all lifeâs âgivensâ get a second chance.
