$arah

The next book is Ali Smith - How to be both, which won the Baileys Prize, the Goldsmiths Prize and the Costa Novel Award and was shortlisted for the Man Booker. So that obviously means it’s going to be REALLY good…<br><br>Come join<br><br>Synopsis: <br>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.<br>
