        Howard Belsey, a Rembrandt scholar who doesn't like Rembrandt, is an Englishman abroad and a long-suffering professor at Wellington, a liberal New England arts college. He has been married for thirty years to Kiki, an American woman who no longer resembles the sexy activist she once was. Their three children passionately pursue their own paths: Levi quests after authentic blackness, Zora believes that intellectuals can redeem everybody, and Jerome struggles to be a believer in a family of strict atheists. Faced with the oppressive enthusiasms of his children, Howard feels that the first two acts of his life are over and he has no clear plans for the finale. Or the encore.

        Then Jerome, Howard's older son, falls for Victoria, the stunning daughter of the right-wing icon Monty Kipps, and the two families find themselves thrown together in a beautiful corner of America, enacting a cultural and personal war against the background of real wars that they barely register. An infidelity, a death, and a legacy set in motion a chain of events that sees all parties forced to examine the unarticulated assumptions which underpin their lives. How do you choose the work on which to spend your life? Why do you love the people you love? Do you really believe what you claim to? And what is the beautiful thing, and how far will you go to get it?

        Set on both sides of the Atlantic, Zadie Smith's third novel is a brilliant analysis of family life, the institution of marriage, intersections of the personal and political, and an honest look at people's deceptions. It is also, as you might expect, very funny indeed.

        扎迪·史密斯(査蒂·史密斯)(Zadie Smith1975—)當(dāng)代英國(guó)最具影響力的作家之一,奧蘭治(Orange)獎(jiǎng)得主,入選2003年英國(guó)著名文學(xué)雜志《Granta》10年評(píng)選一次的“英國(guó)20位最佳青年作家”。在多族裔混居的北倫敦長(zhǎng)大,父親為英國(guó)白人,母親帶有牙買加黑人血統(tǒng)。

        査蒂6歲就開(kāi)始寫(xiě)詩(shī),創(chuàng)作短篇小說(shuō)。不過(guò),她童年時(shí)的夢(mèng)想并不是當(dāng)作家,而是做跳踢踏舞的舞蹈家。

        中學(xué)時(shí),査蒂似乎不是那種有遠(yuǎn)大抱負(fù)的好學(xué)生。她把絕大部分課余時(shí)間都用在閱讀和交友上,還抽過(guò)大麻。當(dāng)她告訴老師自己想申請(qǐng)劍橋時(shí),老師直接告訴她這想法太荒謬,太不切合實(shí)際。然而,她果真如愿來(lái)到了劍橋大學(xué)研究英語(yǔ)文學(xué)。在劍橋國(guó)王學(xué)院,她整天沉浸在小說(shuō)的世界里,從她喜愛(ài)的作家如福斯特、塞林格和馮內(nèi)古特那里學(xué)習(xí)寫(xiě)作的技巧和審美情趣。上高中和大學(xué)時(shí),她還曾靠在酒吧做爵士樂(lè)歌手打工賺錢(qián)。

        扎迪·史密斯(査蒂·史密斯)(Zadie Smith1975—)當(dāng)代英國(guó)最具影響力的作家之一,奧蘭治(Orange)獎(jiǎng)得主,入選2003年英國(guó)著名文學(xué)雜志《Granta》10年評(píng)選一次的“英國(guó)20位最佳青年作家”。在多族裔混居的北倫敦長(zhǎng)大,父親為英國(guó)白人,母親帶有牙買加黑人血統(tǒng)。

        査蒂6歲就開(kāi)始寫(xiě)詩(shī),創(chuàng)作短篇小說(shuō)。不過(guò),她童年時(shí)的夢(mèng)想并不是當(dāng)作家,而是做跳踢踏舞的舞蹈家。

        中學(xué)時(shí),査蒂似乎不是那種有遠(yuǎn)大抱負(fù)的好學(xué)生。她把絕大部分課余時(shí)間都用在閱讀和交友上,還抽過(guò)大麻。當(dāng)她告訴老師自己想申請(qǐng)劍橋時(shí),老師直接告訴她這想法太荒謬,太不切合實(shí)際。然而,她果真如愿來(lái)到了劍橋大學(xué)研究英語(yǔ)文學(xué)。在劍橋國(guó)王學(xué)院,她整天沉浸在小說(shuō)的世界里,從她喜愛(ài)的作家如福斯特、塞林格和馮內(nèi)古特那里學(xué)習(xí)寫(xiě)作的技巧和審美情趣。上高中和大學(xué)時(shí),她還曾靠在酒吧做爵士樂(lè)歌手打工賺錢(qián)。

        在劍橋讀書(shū)時(shí),査蒂遇到了尼克·賴爾德。賴爾德當(dāng)時(shí)正在研修詩(shī)歌并且編輯詩(shī)集。兩人于2004年結(jié)婚。

        査蒂·史密斯是一位喜歡挑戰(zhàn)正統(tǒng)的個(gè)性作家。她的這一性格從年少時(shí)改名一事就已顯露出來(lái)。她原來(lái)叫Sadie,14歲時(shí)自作主張改成了Zadie,在英語(yǔ)中,S音更柔和,而Z音則響亮些,更有個(gè)性,也更有異國(guó)情調(diào)。

        當(dāng)所有人都對(duì)査蒂的處女作《白牙》叫好的時(shí)候,有一個(gè)人卻在“陰陽(yáng)怪氣”地說(shuō),這部作品出自少年老成、故作姿態(tài)者之手,“書(shū)中一些片斷如雜草叢生,不堪一讀?!边@個(gè)人就是査蒂·史密斯本人。她是自己最猛烈的批評(píng)家。她指出:“我懷著寫(xiě)一本巨著的巨大野心,但是我不認(rèn)為它就是那本巨著?!?/p>

        此外,媒體對(duì)《白牙》的過(guò)分反應(yīng)也讓她覺(jué)得難以承受。她說(shuō):“我希望可以繼續(xù)乘地鐵,我希望擁有正常的生活。我不喜歡被人盯著看的感覺(jué)?!?/p>

        2002年,為了獲得精神上的清凈,盛名之下的她選擇離開(kāi)英國(guó)來(lái)到美國(guó)哈佛大學(xué)攻讀碩士學(xué)位,繼續(xù)從事寫(xiě)作。

        主要作品有:《白牙》(White Teeth)、《搜集簽名的人》(The Autograph Man)和《關(guān)于美》(On Beauty),三部作品三次入圍布克獎(jiǎng),并各自斬獲諸多文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。
