Life goes on; life stays the same; everything changes (с)
Люблю все у нее, но пусть будет последняя прочитанная (уже год назад, эх) Girl meets boy. И только Али Смит может сделать книгу с таким названием абсолютно не такой, как себе можно представить.
And it was always stories that needed the telling that gave us the rope we could cross any river with. They balanced us high above the crevasse. They made us be natural acrobats. They made us be brave. They met us well. They changed it. It was in theit nature to.
Tell me what it is, I say.
It's water, Robin Goodman says.
No, I say. I mean, what's the correct word for it, I mean, for you? I need to know it. I need to know the proper word.

Совсем небольшая книга про двух сестер. И обо всем на свете. Переделка старого мифа и при этом абсолютно современная история.
Anthea works at Pure, helping men with shaved heads think up brand names for water: call it Affluent, she suggests. Or Main Stream. She is not, truth be told, completely focused. Until she sees the boy up the ladder, spray-painting the company billboard:
WATER IS A HUMAN RIGHT, she reads. SELLING IT IS MORALLY WRONG
The boy up the ladder, dressed in a kilt and sporran. A bright red tartan; a black waistcoat. Frilly cuffs. He is the most beautiful boy Anthea has ever seen in her life.
No, look again.
She is the most beautiful boy Anthea has ever seen in her life.
In Girl Meets Boy Ali Smith reinterprets the Myth of Iphis, the girl who became a boy, as a brilliant hybrid of satire and romantic comedy. This is a warm, funny, subversive romp through the murky hinterland of corporate perfidy by an author the Scotsman has described as 'one of our greatest imaginative writers'.
