Passionate, compassionate, vitally inventive and scrupulously playful, Ali Smith s novels are like nothing else.Borrowing from painting s fresco technique to make an original literary double-take, How to be both is a novel all about art s versatility. 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.
