具体描述
A breathtakingly inventive new novel from the Man Booker-shortlisted and Baileys Prize-winning author of How to be both
Fusing Keatsian mists and mellow fruitfulness with the vitality, the immediacy and the colour-hit of Pop Art - via a bit of very contemporary skulduggery and skull-diggery - 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.
Autumn is the first installment in Ali Smith's novel quartet Seasonal: four standalone books, separate yet interconnected and cyclical (as the seasons are), exploring what time is, how we experience it, and the recurring markers in the shapes our lives take and in our ways with narrative.
From the imagination of the peerless Ali Smith comes a shape-shifting series, wide-ranging in timescale and light-footed through histories, and a story about ageing and time and love and stories themselves.
作者简介
Ali Smith is a writer, born in 1962 in Inverness, Scotland, to working-class parents. She was raised in a council house in Inverness and now lives in Cambridge. She studied at Aberdeen, and then at Cambridge, for a Ph.D. that was never finished. In a 2004 interview with writing magazine Mslexia, she talked briefly about the difficulty of becoming ill with chronic fatigue syndrome for a year and how it forced her to give up her job as a lecturer at University of Strathclyde to focus on what she really wanted to do: writing. Openly gay, she has been with her partner Sarah Wood for 17 years and dedicates all her books to her.

用户评价
没有重读选项就mark另外一个版本吧。重读还是喜欢啊！
评分尤其喜欢有关Pauline Boty的部分，在艺术史的真实与虚构之间游走，就跟How to be both一样。
评分虽然某些生活化的情节、秋天的气息和脱欧大环境的忧伤情绪感受到了，但还是没有能结合这些不同的环节总结成一个大故事，或是也许有只是我没看懂而已。
评分又刷了一遍，还是喜欢。老人与女孩的情缘，让人想起"盲龟浮木"的典故，隔着将近七十年的光阴，她爱上了他，一直爱着他，而他在死亡与记忆与梦的边缘逡巡徘徊，终于逆流回返，回向生命，回向她。每个章节的第一句(或半句)都用黑字加粗，一开始还以为连在一起会是诗或歌词，不过大多是提示时间节点，我以为结构上头是collage(拼贴画)的模式，时间碎片打乱重组。不过ali smith自己倒像是给出来了这部作品结构构思的官方答案: p175 Time travel is real, we do it all the time. Moment to moment, minute to minute. 毫无疑问，这本书的构架编排是time -travel，其实开头说的"盲龟浮木"不也是一种time-travel?
评分Smith is definitely an author to look out for. Her writing is so unique, observant and creative. I was in treat with playful language.
