WINNER OF THE WOMEN’S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2015 WINNER OF THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZE 2014WINNER 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 TimesWINNER OF THE SALTIRE SOCIETY LITERARY BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2014SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2014Ali Smith’s new novel, Companion piece, is available now.
