How to be both: A novel

SHORT-LISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE

Passionate, compassionate, vitally inventive and scrupulously playful, Ali Smithâ€™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 discussionâ€”and have won her a dedicated readership who are drawn again and again to the warmth, humanity and humor of her voice.
Â
How to be bothÂ is a novel all about artâ€™s versatility. Borrowing from paintingâ€™s fresco technique to make an original literary double-take, itâ€™s a fast-moving genre-bending conversation between forms, times, truths and fictions. Thereâ€™s a Renaissance artist of the 1460s. Thereâ€™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 realâ€”and all lifeâ€™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 the eBook provides you with both. You can choose which way to read the novel by simply clicking on one of two iconsâ€”CAMERA orÂ EYES.Â The text is exactly the same in both versions; the narratives are just in a different order.Â
Â
The ebook is produced this way so that readers can randomly have different experiences reading the same text. So, depending on which icon you select, the book will read: EYES, CAMERA, or CAMERA, EYES. (Your friend may be reading it the other way around.) Enjoy the adventure.Â
Â
(Having both versions in the same file is intentional.)
