Readers love Ali Smith’s novels for their peerless innovation and their joyful celebration of language and life. Her newest, Autumn, has all of these qualities in spades, and—good news for fans!—is the first installment in a quartet. Seasonal, comprised of four stand-alone books, separate yet interconnected and cyclical (as are the seasons), explores what time is, how we experience it, and the recurring markers in the shapes our lives take and in our ways with narrative. Fusing Keatsian mists and mellow fruitfulness with the vitality, the immediacy, and the color hit of Pop Art, Autumn is a witty excavation of the present by the past. The novel is a stripped-branches take on popular culture and a meditation, in a world growing ever more bordered and exclusive, on what richness and worth are, what harvest means.

A story that weaves all these elements together, so adeptly, beautifully, under a autumnal frame that adds touches of melancholy. I guess very few authors can be both panoramic and in-depth, both outward looking and inward looking, telling a story that is barely a story with compassion(展开)

最近计划刷掉17年的Man Booker Prize shortlist，这是读的第一本，是一本很……神奇的小说，我必须得承认没全看懂……但还是断断续续花了一个星期看完了。 小说的主线——if there was any——并不复杂，讲述的是一对相差七十岁的忘年交的故事，按作者的说法这是英国脱欧之后她...

补mark，不太看好这个四部曲。中间女画家那条线，还挺有意思的，总体来说文学性和阅读趣味都欠缺。
