Reading Zadie Smith Summary

Reading Zadie Smith: The First Decade and Beyond by Professor Philip Tew (Brunel University, UK)

Since the publication of White Teeth in 2000, Zadie Smith has become one of the most popular contemporary writers and also one of the mostly widely studied. Taking criticism of Smith's work beyond its traditional focus on postcolonialism and multicultural identity, Reading Zadie Smith brings together leading international scholars to open up new directions in criticism of Smith's work. Covering such key topics as posthumanism, 'hysterical realism', religion, identity and ethics, this book brings together a full range of current critical perspectives to explore not only Smith's novels but also her short stories, her criticism and her non-fiction writing.

It includes three essays with new approaches to White Teeth and also two stunning essays on Smith's difficult new novel NW. * Christine W. Sizemore, Professor of English, Spelman College, Atlanta, USA *
An absolute must for anyone looking to dig deeper into Smith's work. -- Maddi Howell, Books Editor * York Vision *
