具体描述

Epic in scale and intimate in approach, White Teeth is an ambitious novel. Genetics, eugenics, gender, race, class and history are the book's themes but Zadie Smith is gifted with the wit and inventiveness to make these weighty ideas seem effortlessly light.

The story travels through Jamaica, Turkey, Bangladesh and India but ends up in a scrubby North London borough, home of the book's two unlikely heroes: prevaricating Archie Jones and intemperate Samad Iqbal. They met in the Second World War, as part of a "Buggered Battalion" and have been best friends ever since. Archie marries beautiful, buck-toothed Clara, who's on the run from her Jehovah's Witness mother, and they have a daughter, Irie. Samad marries stroppy Alsana and they have twin sons: "Children with first and last names on a direct collision course. Names that secrete within them mass exodus, cramped boats and planes, cold arrivals, medical checks."

Big questions demand boldly drawn characters. Zadie Smith's aren't heroic, just real: warm, funny, misguided and entirely familiar; reading their conversations is like eavesdropping. A simple scene, Alsana and Clara chatting about their pregnancies in the park: "A woman has to have the private things--a husband needn't be involved in body business, in a lady's ... parts."

Samad's rant about his sons--"They have both lost their way. Strayed so far from what I had intended for them. No doubt they will both marry white women called Sheila and put me in an early grave--acutely displays "the immigrant fears--dissolution, disappearance" but it also gets to the very heart of Samad.

White Teeth is a joy to read. It teems with life and exuberence and has enough cleverness and irreverent seriousness to give it bite. --Eithne Farry --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

读后感

像是《午夜之子》和《麦田守望者》混合版。最大两个特色,一个是站在有色人种的角度叙述英国的文化生活。对,虽然不是英国人,但那个年代所产生的移民,印度/巴基斯坦移民,真的也是英国历史的一部分,鉴于作者的族裔文字风格颇有异域风情;二是年轻,那种年轻人才有的蓬勃迸发...

到底该怎么走,到底该不该融入我们所在的这个社会?离经判道还是中规中矩?其实最终大家都归于平凡而普通罢了.

4.5星 sassy but sometimes too stylistic, thematically neat, ending so rushed!

三星半。Smith is funny, witty, very good with words, but not very deep.

Captures the multi-culturalism of London and the clash of values between the first and second generation of immigrants exceptionally well.
