For Open Democracy: Ali Smith's Autumn

I adore Ali Smith so of course I was going to love her latest novel, Autumn. 

But it really is an extraordinary piece of work. 

She's written a novel about summer 2016 that was published in autumn 2016. 

So as you read it, you are reading the history of now. 

Here's my full review for Open Democracy. 

If you haven't read it yet, do it now. Because it is uncanny to read the now, now.
