Swing Time

Popis:

An ambitious, exuberant new novel moving from north west London to West Africa, from the multi-award-winning author of White Teeth and On Beauty Two brown girls dream of being dancers - but only one, Tracey, has talent. The other has ideas: about rhythm and time, about black bodies and black music, what constitutes a tribe, or makes a person truly free. It`s a close but complicated childhood friendship that ends abruptly in their early twenties, never to be revisited, but never quite forgotten, either...Dazzlingly energetic and deeply human, Swing Time is a story about friendship and music and stubborn roots, about how we are shaped by these things and how we can survive them. Moving from North-West London to West Africa, it is an exuberant dance to the music of time. Praise for Zadie Smith: `Smith is the most naturally gifted young novelist around - with a fastidious ear for dialogue and a lethally quiet comic touch. Above all, she can move us` Times Literary Supplement `[Smith] packs more intelligence, humour and sheer energy into any given scene than anyone else of her generation` Sunday Telegraph `Her dialogue sings and soars; terse, packed and sassy. Smith is simply wonderful: Dickens`s legitimate daughter` Independent on NW `Captivating. Funny, sexy, weird, full of acute social comedy. [Zadie Smith] is up there with the best around` Evening Standard on NW `Intensely funny, richly varied, always unexpected. A joyous, optimistic, angry masterpiece. No better English novel will be published this year` Daily Telegraph on NW `Exceptionally accomplished...Smith displays a remarkable talent for embracing all the possibilities of language, and time and again she produces images that shout out in their brilliance...An outstanding novelist` Observer on On Beauty `Like Forster, Smith possesses a captivating authorial voice - at once authoritative and nonchalant, and capacious enough to accommodate high moral seriousness, laid-back humour and virtually everything in-between` New York Times on On Beauty
