LONGLIST PER IL MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2017 SELEZIONATO PER I NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDS 2017 "Il migliore di Smith. Straordinario, veramente meraviglioso" Observer Un romanzo abbagliantemente esuberante che si sposta dal nord-ovest di Londra all'Africa occidentale, dall'autore acclamato dalla critica di White Teeth, On Beauty e Grand Union Due ragazze di colore sognano di diventare ballerine, ma solo una, Tracey, ha talento. L'altra ha delle idee: sul ritmo e il tempo, sui corpi neri e sulla musica nera, su cosa significhi appartenere, cosa significhi essere liberi. È un'amicizia infantile intima ma complicata che finisce bruscamente nei loro primi vent'anni, mai più rivisitata, ma mai del tutto dimenticata. Pieno di energia, ritmo e movimento, Swing Time è il romanzo più ambizioso di Zadie Smith. È una storia di musica e identità, razza e classe, coloro che seguono la danza e coloro che la guidano. "Superbo" Financial Times "Straordinario" TLS "Perfetto" Daily Telegraph "Non esiste ancora un cronista migliore della moderna famiglia britannica di Zadie Smith" Telegraph.
