Zadie Smith Synopses: White Teeth is a standalone title by Zadie Smith. It’s New Year’s morning in 1975, and Archie Jones sits in his car on a London road and waits for the exhaust fumes to fill his Cavalier Musketeer station wagon. Archie – working-class, ordinary, a failed marriage under his belt – is calling it quits, the judge being the flip of a 20-pence coin. When the owner of a nearby halal butcher shop (annoyed that Archie’s car is blocking his delivery area) comes out and bangs on the window, he gives Archie another chance at life and sets in motion this rich story.

On Beauty by Zadie Smith is the story of an interracial family living in the university town of Wellington, Massachusetts, whose misadventures in the culture wars – on both sides of the Atlantic – serve to skewer everything from family life to political correctness to the combustive collision between the personal and the political.
