How to be both (Paperback)

Summary of the Book
This inventive, versatile novel interweaves two tales of a renaissance artist of the 1460s and the child of a child of the 1960s in the most imaginative way. The two tales become ageless, with spirited, fervent, furtive, and empathetic twists. Ali Smith creates magic with by borrowing from the fresco technique of painting, to makes a literary double-take. The conversation conceived between times, truths, forms and fictions has been hailed as a glorious attempt by an author.
