ik i have two answers BUT breath of life, i think, contains a lot of sentiments that ali smith has (passion and care for humanity in an almost quasi religious way) but it screams in a way that ali smith sings (idk if that makes sense). i think clarice lispector is probably the most human person to grace the earth and her prose reflect an odd reverence for people even though they‘re not very happy go lucky. breath of life does this best, i recommend going into it blind, but i will say that it is the best answer any book has had to the why are we here question
