Ali Smith
7 SeriesAli Smith is a Scottish author, playwright, and journalist. Her notable works include "The Accidental," which won the 2005 Whitbread Novel of the Year, and "How to Be Both," which received the 2014 Goldsmiths Prize and the Novel Award in the 2014 Costa Book Awards.
Ali Smith's "How to Be Both" intertwines the lives of a Renaissance artist from the 1940s and a teenager from the 1960s. The novel explores art's versatility, drawing inspiration from fresco painting techniques. Smith masterfully manipulates time and structure, merging the two narratives into a cohesive story. For Kindle readers, the book offers a unique reading experience with two different sequences: "camera" and "eyes." Despite the innovative format, the core text remains unchanged.
