Summary
Zadie Smith: White Teeth
Zadie Smith's bravura debut about the relationship to heritage and a multi-ethnic environment, spiced with irony and British humor, with many vivid characters and situations that keep readers in suspense. There are Jehovah's Witnesses, a genetically modified mouse, Arabs running an Irish pub, hairdressers in a Jamaican salon, eugenicists, a great-grandfather who may or may not be a hero, animal rights activists and an Islamic fundamentalist group under the unfortunate acronym KEVIN. A book adored by both critics and readers.
