I think I liked it? But maybe not all of the time? There are moments of sheer brilliance, but then there are moments when I was quite confused, wondering if I should push through. I'm glad I did, but I don't know what to make of it.
This novel takes what could be rightly described as a stream-of-consciousness narrative and gives it substance, even something close to order. Concerned very much with the perception and passage of time, 'Autumn' may be mistakenly described as a novel without much of a plot, but I firmly believe that is exactly what Smith intended with it.
