Winter by Ali Smith

2.75

That’s what winter is: an exercise in remembering how to still yourself then how to come pliantly back to life again. An exercise in adapting yourself to whatever frozen or molten state it brings you.  

ali smith is a master at fleshing out the brain of a character for us blessed readers to follow! i can't say winter is at the same level as autumn for me — there were running jokes that got boring to me (lux being "dumb", celebrities passing) but you can definitely still find fun anecdotes as you read. perhaps disliking most characters made it hard to care about wherever the story is going. i essentially got through the book to know what ali smith would come up with next, in what way would she express a certain character's specific world view in a moment in time
