Recommends Smith\u27s novel, which rewrites classical myth through the love story of a modern-day lesbian couple, as challenging  conventional notions of identity on multiple levels,  pointing to  the transformative potential of queer identity to embrace a clever reconciliation of local community and cosmopolitan mindset,  and offering  a reading of Scottish identity that is culturally progressive and politically sound

Ali Smith, Girl Meets Boy (2007)  
 
A novel I would like to recommend is Ali Smith's Girl Meets Boy. It 
challenges conventional notions of identity on multiple levels. Despite her 
international high profile, Smith is often left out of the Scottish literary 
canon. This could be a reflection of the fact that her work doesn't always 
directly reference Scotland or Scottish national identity, although, 
arguably, her work is deeply concerned with identity. 
Girl Meets Boy, as its title suggests, attempts to challenge existing 
views about gender and sexuality. The primary story level follows the love 
story of Anthea and Robin, a modern-day lesbian couple, whose 
relationship stands for a dynamic way of conceiving love as opposed to the 
conventional trappings Anthea's sister, Imogen/Midge, finds herself in. 
This is also underpinned by the story's secondary level, which references 
Ovid's queer myth of Iphis and Ianthe, of which Smith's Girl Meets Boy is 
a conscious rewriting. 
But the novel doesn't just question the patriarchal foundations of 
heteronormativity by celebrating queer desire, although the imagined 
happy wedding scene—legally impossible at the time of publication—
certainly endorses queerness as a subversive force within the novel. More 
than the actualisation of same-sex desire, queerness embodies an 
alternative way of being, one which focuses on the fulfilment of individual 
happiness rather than the execution of corporate dictates impersonated, in 
the novel, by the PURE water company, a multinational corporation Midge 
and Anthea work for. 
Against the sexist and exploitative ethos of the consumerist-capitalist 
culture PURE stands for, Anthea and Robin represent the voice of the 
oppressed, women and homosexuals, persecuted and discriminated against 
on the basis of reductive readings of gender and sexuality. Juxtaposed to 
the closed-mindedness of the company—and the problematic globalised 
politics it entertains—is the fluidity of queer identity and desire, captured 
in the image of the River Ness, which flows freely, unlike the water bottled 
by PURE, and is the chosen background of the fantasy wedding scene. 
In this sense, attention to Scottish scenery displays the novel's 
articulation of a Scottish identity which is simultaneously embedded in the 
local and subversively borderless. While the novel appears to lament a 
certain loss of community due to the politics of global economics 
AN SSL DEBATE 210 
responsible, for instance, for the establishment of soulless shopping malls, 
it also exposes anxiety around a Scottish identity simplistically formed in 
binary opposition to England. Instead, the novel points to the 
transformative potential of queer identity to embrace a clever reconciliation 
of local community and cosmopolitan mindset. 
Smith's Girl Meets Boy should be included in the list not only because 
it represents one of the most original voices in Scotland, but also because it 
produces a reading of Scottish identity that is culturally progressive and 
politically sound.
