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.

有时看相册,会发现自己对相册中的那个多年前的自己的形象忘得一干二净,自己总结为变化太大的缘故。初逢《白牙》于图书大厦的六楼,没觉得自己之前会对此类书感兴趣,买下它纯属机缘巧合。回家细读之下,便觉出了味道。 整本书流露出一种英国的文化,他写的不是英国的贵族...

先不要觉得我的题目很奇怪,可能我也开始用夏尔芬式的思维在思考问题了吧。一直以来,少数族裔的作家们都在试图描写他们在异乡的生存困境和思维困境,以及一种恐惧却又不得不被同化的进程。但是没有一部作品,像这部大开本的三百多页的巨制一样,表现的巨细靡遗,以至于读来心...

非常精彩,可惜的是文笔不佳,连评论都写不来,写几句,以纪念看完这本书。 三个家庭,或移民,或底层,或懦弱,或心有不甘,都在寻求自身的存在感,归属感,阿吉,一生碌碌无为,所有决定都是靠掷硬币来决定,(话说他为啥没杀死博士,还两次救他,有待再看一下)。 萨马德,...

我以前已经提到过,这是我今年看到的,最值得推荐的一本书。 尤其是前面2/3,可以说得是波澜壮阔的史诗,智慧与幽默并存,现实与历史辉映。

感觉作者野心很大,涉及了很多重要的话题,但是人物的塑造欠火候,恨不起来,爱不起来,也可怜不起来,所以显得太冗长了。
