Passionate, compassionate, vitally inventive and scrupulously playful, Ali Smith’s novels are like nothing else. A true original, she is a one-of-a-kind literary sensation. Her novels consistently attract serious acclaim and discussion—and have won her a dedicated readership who are drawn again and again to the warmth, humanity and humor of her voice.
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.
A NOTE TO THE READER:
Who says stories reach everybody in the same order?
This novel can be read in two ways and this book provides you with both.
In half of all printed editions of the novel the narrative EYES comes before CAMERA.
In the other half of printed editions the narrative CAMERA precedes EYES.
The narratives are exactly the same in both versions, just in a different order.
The books are intentionally printed in two different ways, so that readers can randomly have different experiences reading the same text. So, depending on which edition you happen to receive, the book will be: EYES, CAMERA, or CAMERA, EYES. Enjoy the adventure.

評分我們是否可以同時是女人也是男人,同時是現在也是過去? 在How to be both這本小說中,Ali Smith為我們講述瞭這樣一種可能性。 小說分為兩個部分:Camera和Eye Camera講述瞭21世紀倫敦,一個16歲,有著男性名字的女孩George。在她的非常嬉皮士的母親去世後,她如何走齣悲痛的故...

好看!有趣!女權但不刻意。男女性彆的模糊不清,過去和現在的時間綫模糊不清,兩個故事的界限也模糊不清,於是就不在是男/女,過去/現在,這樣對立,而是how to be both。另外更喜歡女畫傢那個故事的寫法。
評分詼諧、睿智、溫暖(human),巨好看。越來越喜歡英國人對英語寫作的革新。
