About This Item
New York: Random House, 2001. First edition of "Zadie Smith's fizzing first novel" (Salman Rushdie). Octavo, original half cloth. Signed by Zadie Smith on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. "[A] dazzling intergenerational first novel... wonderfully inventive, playful yet unaffected, mongrel yet cohesive, profound yet funny, vernacular yet lyrical" (Los Angeles Times). "Brilliant. Smith is a master at detail, a postmodern Charles Dickens. [Smith's] rich storytelling and wicked wit are suited to the sights and smells of the world that England has inherited" (Washington Post).
