Words Wednesday: Zadie Smith
Today’s Words Wednesday features contemporary British author Zadie Smith.
This quote comes from Zadie Smith’s novel, White Teeth. Published in 2000, White Teeth follows the London lives of two friends: Samad Iqbal, originally from Bangladesh, and Archie Jones, an Englishman. Like many of Smith’s other works, White Teeth explores themes of personal and societal identity, immigration and homeland, class, and race. Zadie Smith’s sharp sense of humor and multiple narrative viewpoints have earned her several literary prizes, including the Whitbread Book Award and the Guardian First Book Award.
Smith also frequently contributes both fiction and non-fiction essays to the New Yorker.
