WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2015 WINNER OF THE
GOLDSMITHS PRIZE 2014 WINNER OF THE 2014 COSTA NOVEL AWARD '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. ***** 'Brims with palpable joy' Daily Telegraph 'She's a
genius, genuinely modern in the heroic, glorious sense' Alain de
Botton 'A delight. A masterpiece. Magical' Sunday Times WINNER OF
THE SALTIRE SOCIETY LITERARY BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2014
SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2014 Ali Smith's new novel,
Companion piece, is available now.
