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.

整个村子被一种阴沉的气氛笼罩着。 伊丽莎白路过公交车站不远处的一幢小屋，看到房子的正面从门到窗户上方，一整片都被涂上了几个黑色的大字：滚回家去。 这是最糟糕的时代，这是最糟糕的时代。又在重演。世间种种正在土崩瓦解，过去是这样，将来也是这样，本质使然。 很抱歉，...

We are all time containers, the world is and will always be. We are at the present but the past, the future, the imagined are no alien to us, its an old story so new. 作者解构时间和小说的方式非常有趣，pun玩到飞起 non native speaker还是需要好的翻译帮忙。
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Smith is definitely an author to look out for. Her writing is so unique, observant and creative. I was in treat with playful language.
评分实验性小说，有点意思，但是开始时不明所以。有种看朗读者的感觉
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。
