Summary
Zadie Smith: On Beauty
At the fictional University of Wellington, where ideological debates are fought with as much fervor as family feuds, two families – the chaotic, liberal Belseys and the strict, conservative Kipps – clash over art, identity, politics and everything in between. In a novel that is both sharp social satire and hilarious family drama, Zadie Smith humorously and insightfully illuminates class divisions, racial tensions and the search for beauty in all its forms.
