Ali Smith's intricately clever and often funny ''There but for the'' is very much at the literary end of the fiction spectrum. Not in terms of the language used though - Smith uses simple language, and a '''LOT''' of puns, and if anything, as the title suggests, she's more interested in the little words. It's playful and strangely affecting, while at the same time a little affected and often slightly irritatingly free flowing. |
