Not to mention wise. And I love all authors who can do something oddball and hold you in touch with it, serenely, across the reading process. This is a great review because it gets to the essence of her unique style. Thank you! I love Ali Smith because she is so clever and funny and joyous. Not to mention wise.

The "joy" thing is totally right, too. It's really not what I usually read, but boy have I been needing it lately. Yes, I want to tell Amazon to send me that one right away, like yesterday!

They're both joyous writers, with evident delight in telling non-linear tales and playing with language. I haven't read Smith's latest short story collection, but am looking forward to it. I must move it up the TBR pile! I agree that there’s an affinity between Jeanette Winterson and Ali Smith.
