On Beauty - Zadie Smith

lindyhop · 01-21-2007, 03:12 PM

I'm amazed how Zadie Smith who is only about 30 or so (and who was only 25 when she wrote White Teeth) can write about characters of all ages and get it so right. The older characters in On Beauty (that is, the characters who are my age) were spot on.

I actually liked White Teeth better but this one grew on me.

The Stanford Book Salon did this book in November. There are some other resources at the webpage here, including a link to an interview with the author on NPR.
