Free Love And Other Stories
Free Love And Other Stories | Ali Smith
1 post | 1 read
A teenage girl finds unexpected sexual freedom on a trip to Amsterdam. A woman trapped at a dinner party comes up against an ugly obsession. The stories in Free Love are about desire, memory, sexual ambiguity and the imagination. In the harsh light of dislocation, the people in them still find connections, words blowing in the street, love in unexpected places. Ali Smith shows how things come together and how they break apart. She disconcerts and affirms with the lightest touch, to make us love and live differently.

What a grounding and warm book of short stories. So Smith's writing is gritty and down to earth in this collection. Each story follows different characters and their relationship with life and love. After reading the last story, I felt like I had received a huge, warm hug.
