Writ

by Ali Smith

[brokentune]

"He did die unbelievably young, you know, Keats, I say.
No he didn't, she says. He was twenty-five or something."

If you were visited in your home by your fourteen-year-old self, how would you react?

"Writ" is a short story published in 2006, and the first of Smith's shorts I have read. I guess the rest of her canon has much to live up to now. Loved it.
