Companion Piece by Ali Smith

A very nice review from The Guardian is here. I enjoyed this short collage-novel. Lots of abrupt paragraphs, but a coherent mood and flow. A bit absurd, a bit melancholy. Apparently it is part of a quartet of similar approaches. Personally, I prefer a more leisurely exposition that facilitates transportation/immersion. But happy to have read this and will look forward to someday reading some of the other ones.
