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.

具體描述

讀後感

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...

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.

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。

傳說中的“歇斯底裏現實主義”。的確,過分龐雜、枝蔓橫生的敘述語言,掩蓋不瞭作品本質上的單薄。為什麼不寫成短篇小說?

會是一個很好的電影劇本啊,衝突好新,但文字感覺生澀、雜亂。
