VINCITRICE DEL WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2015 VINCITRICE DEL GOLDSMITHS PRIZE 2014 VINCITRICE DEL COSTA NOVEL AWARD 2014 "Mi tolgo il cappello davanti ad Ali Smith. La sua scrittura solleva l'anima" Evening Standard How to be both è un romanzo sulla versatilità dell'arte. Prendendo a prestito dalla tecnica dell'affresco della pittura per creare un'originale doppia ripresa letteraria, è una conversazione in rapido movimento che piega i generi tra forme, tempi, verità e finzioni. C'è un'artista rinascimentale degli anni '60 del Quattrocento. C'è il figlio di un figlio degli anni '60. Due storie d'amore e ingiustizia si intrecciano in un racconto singolare in cui il tempo diventa senza tempo, la struttura diventa giocosa, la conoscenza diventa misteriosa, la finzione diventa reale e tutti i doni della vita ottengono una seconda possibilità.*****"Trabocca di gioia palpabile" Daily Telegraph "È un genio, genuinamente moderna in senso eroico e glorioso" Alain de Botton "Una delizia. Un capolavoro. Magico" Sunday Times VINCITORE DEL PREMIO SALTIRE SOCIETY LIBRO LETTERARIO DELL'ANNO 2014 NELLA CLASSIFICA PER IL MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2014 Il nuovo romanzo di Ali Smith, Companion piece, è ora disponibile.

Passionate, compassionate, vitally inventive and scrupulously playful, Ali Smith's novels are like nothing else.
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.
