Book Description

Canongate Myths June 5, 2008
"Girl Meets Boy" - It's a story as old as time. But what happens when an old story meets a brand new set of circumstances?Ali Smith's re-mix of Ovid's most joyful metamorphosis is a story about the kind of fluidity that can't be bottled and sold.It is about girls and boys, girls and girls, love and transformation, a story of puns and doubles, reversals and revelations.Funny and fresh, poetic and political, "Girl Meets Boy" is a myth of metamorphosis for the modern world.
