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.

评分都不晓得南海出版社出过中文版。去找找看。
评分Captures the multi-culturalism of London and the clash of values between the first and second generation of immigrants exceptionally well.
评分半自传体的黑白混血在伦敦,作者因此年少成名
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...

评分到底该怎么走,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.
评分我以前已经提到过,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。
评分不得不说Zadie很神奇。首先这个名字就很离经叛道得对不起Smith这个普普通通的姓氏。她本名是Sadie,擅自改成Zadie的。现行的翻译都不好听。通行的是“扎迪”。南海出版公司用的是“查蒂”,更离谱了。 2000年,她写出了《白牙》(White Teeth)。主剧情从1974(她还没出生!...
