White Teeth (Electronic book text)

Praise for "White Teeth"
"Zadie Smith's fizzing first novel is about how we all got here-from the Caribbean, from the Indian subcontinent, from thirteenth place in a long-ago Olympic bicycle race-and about what "here" turned out to be. It's an astonishingly assured debut, funny and serious, and the voice has real writerly idiosyncrasy. I was delighted by "White Teeth" and often impressed. It has . . . bite."
-Salman Rushdie

"A rich, ambitious, and often hilarious delight."
-"The Independent"

"This is a strikingly clever and funny book with a passion for ideas, for language, and for the rich tragicomedy of life. . . . Smith's] characters always ring true; it is her ebullient, simple prose and her generous understanding of human nature that make Zadie Smith's novel outstanding. It is not only great fun to read, but full of hope."
