It explores themes of art, identity, time, and gender through two interconnected stories: one set in 15th-century Italy and the other in the contemporary era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe historical narrative follows Francesco del Cossa, a young Italian artist contemplating art and his role within it. The modern-day story focuses on George, a teenager grappling with her mother's recent death and her own identity. These narratives interweave, establishing connections between past and present and illustrating how art and history influence self-perception. Smith's inventive approach allows readers to encounter the two stories in any order, adding a unique dimension to the reading experience that emphasizes duality and perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy You Should Read?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperience an innovative structure blending historical and contemporary narratives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore profound themes of art, identity, gender, and the interplay of history and self.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngage with a flexible reading experience through its dual, customizable narrative flow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover Ali Smith's acclaimed inventive storytelling and linguistic artistry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42619295367421,"sku":null,"price":1120.0,"currency_code":"NPR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/4145\/8840\/files\/81yY3Te_fiL._AC_UF894_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1698912355","url":"https:\/\/biblionepal.com\/ar\/products\/how-to-be-both","provider":"BIBLIONEPAL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
