This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

The runner-up for the Man Booker Prize and one of the top sellers on the shortlist - now in paperback

Passionate, compassionate, vitally inventive and scrupulously playful, Ali SmithP#39;s novels are like nothing else. Plt;BRPgt;Plt;iPgt;Plt;iPgt;Plt;BRPgt;Plt;/iPgt;How to be bothPlt;/iPgt; is a novel all about artP#39;s versatility. Borrowing from paintingP#39;s fresco technique to make an original literary double-take, itP#39;s a fast-moving genre-bending conversation between forms, times, truths and fictions. ThereP#39;s a renaissance artist of the 1460s. ThereP#39;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 lifeP#39;s givens get given a second chance.
