When four people, strangers and family, converge on a fifteen-bedroom house in Cornwall for Christmas, will there be enough room for everyone?
Winter. It makes things visible. In Ali Smith’s Winter, life-force matches up to the toughest of the seasons. In this second novel in her Seasonal cycle, the follow-up to her sensational Autumn, Smith’s shapeshifting novel casts a warm, wise, merry and uncompromising eye over a post-truth era in a story rooted in history and memory and with a taproot deep in the evergreens, art and love.
He thinks about how, whatever being alive is, with all its pasts and presents and futures, it is most itself in the moments when you surface from a depth of numbness or forgetfulness that you didn't even know you were at, and break the surface (查看原文)

Haunting, witty yet distracting. Look I totally get what she trying to do here, in terms of structure and narration. But it's just not for me, rather disappointed.
The ghost of a flower, the ghost of a flame. 在这段春寒料峭的日子里读完Ali Smith季节四部曲第二本，相较而言还是更喜欢Spring. 两个故事里都有一个仿佛从天而降的年轻女孩，轻巧地松动原本有些僵化的局面，然后消失，隐入人海，万物，和时间，但那把小小的火已经传到另一个人手中。Ali Smith的叙述方式很戳我，而关于双关、用典和化用，无法全部理解...The ghost of a flower, the ghost of a flame. 在这段春寒料峭的日子里读完Ali Smith季节四部曲第二本，相较而言还是更喜欢Spring. 两个故事里都有一个仿佛从天而降的年轻女孩，轻巧地松动原本有些僵化的局面，然后消失，隐入人海，万物，和时间，但那把小小的火已经传到另一个人手中。Ali Smith的叙述方式很戳我，而关于双关、用典和化用，无法全部理解也没关系，因为很多意象能够传达的共振已经超越了语言和文化本身。(展开)
Tragedy is not inevitable when art（not Art） and politics happen in real life. A winter book bought in the very beginning of the Spring and read in the beginning of Summer. Green Bay has the most creepy museum I've ever been, in the early lamented March, g...

奇妙。很难形容这本书是关于什么...但可能之后还会想起的那种。每次跳入回忆都毫无预兆但会有扑通一下的感觉（可能因为我听的是有声书），但是回忆都写得好有趣。（可是真的很想问一句 where did the head go?)

God I love it. So disturbingly warm and beautiful and witty. The best one “Art is seeing things”

Art is seeing things. 阅读经验依然很独特；把自己也想象成一条线，和小说的脉络时而交织时而疏离，渐渐不那么纠结于“理解”或“把握”。(刚好听到 Bill Evans 的 You must believe in spring，很快就是春天了。）

比第一本好读，真的很喜欢很喜欢。里面的每个角色都很有意思，很多对话都击中了我的内心。常常一边读一边想，ali smith到底是何方神圣，怎么写出来这些文字的。谢谢她让我觉得我没疯。

大量的隱喻和引據、文字遊戲，但嵌套得很好、很巧妙，不愧是Ali Smith，太會寫了！Sophia在那個聖誕夜遇到Danny，D自別人家門前取下冬青花環，將它當作那晚的取景器，他通過花環看見她，她通過花環看見他——這又呼應了《Autumn》里的睜眼閉眼。
