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.

这是一本英国小说,作者查蒂史密斯,24岁时写的这部处女作就得了N多奖,不可思议。 读到第二章,感觉作者熟读圣经和马太福音,因为她总是引用里面的文字,给人物设置传教士的故事情节。 这是一本朴实的小说,内容涉及家庭和人生。本书35万字。2000年英文版问世,2008年中文版出...  

評分

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...

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。

今天因为一些别的原因,特意在网上把Zadie所有能看到的小说试读都读了一遍,对这个当红作家算是有了一个大概的了解。闲聊几句读后感。 Zadie可能是因为近年来一直在大学当写作课老师的缘故,太学术气了,所以除了她刚毕业时写的处女作《白牙》还有点精彩的看头,后来的小说都一...

感覺作者野心很大,涉及瞭很多重要的話題,但是人物的塑造欠火候,恨不起來,愛不起來,也可憐不起來,所以顯得太冗長瞭。

She wasn’t surprised by Joshua’s metamorphosis. Four months in the life of a seventeen-year-old is the stuff of swings and roundabouts; Stones fans into Beatles fand. Tories into Liberal Democrats and back again, vinyl junkies to CD freaks. Never again in your life do you possess the capacity for such total personality overhaul.
