Other Stories and other stories by Ali Smith
4.0
What a wonderful collection. I've head it on my to-read for over ten years now, in truth: I first read a few of these stories for a class, and I wanted to read the rest but the book wasn't available at the library and it took me this long to get ahold of the copy. It was worth the wait.
It's about the telling of stories, about love and about responsibility. Technique (the superb use of POV!), theme and emotion are brought together by the author to bring forth a luminescent and powerful collection. I particularly loved "The Theme Is Power" and "A Story of Love". They read a little like a confession and a little like a meditation. They moved me.
I am even more excited to read more Ali Smith now.
