Recensione:

Praise for White Teeth

"Zadie Smith's fizzing first novel is about how we all got here—from the Caribbean, from the Indian subcontinent, from thirteenth place in a long-ago Olympic bicycle race—and about what "here" turned out to be. It's an astonishingly assured debut, funny and serious, and the voice has real writerly idiosyncrasy. I was delighted by White Teeth and often impressed. It has . . . bite."
—Salman Rushdie
"A rich, ambitious, and often hilarious delight."
—The Independent
"This is a strikingly clever and funny book with a passion for ideas, for language, and for the rich tragicomedy of life. . . . [Smith's] characters always ring true; it is her ebullient, simple prose and her generous understanding of human nature that make Zadie Smith's novel outstanding. It is not only great fun to read, but full of hope."
—Sunday Telegraph
"A writer of mighty potential."
—The Times Literary Supplement
"Poised and relentlessly funny. . . . A major new talent."
—The Guardian
