Girl Meets Boy

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 remix 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; here is a tale of change for the modern world. The Myths series brings together some of the world's finest writers; each of whom has retold a myth in a contemporary and memorable way. Authors in the series include Karen Armstrong; Margaret Atwood; A.S. Byatt; David Grossman; Natsuo Kirino; Alexander McCall Smith; Philip Pullman; Ali Smith and Jeanette Winterson.
