内容简介
Set in northwest London, Zadie Smith’s brilliant tragicomic novel follows four locals—Leah, Natalie, Felix, and Nathan—as they try to make adult live s outside of Caldwell, the council estate of their childhood. In private houses and public parks, at work and at play , these Londoners inhabit a complicated place, as beautiful as it is brutal, where the thoroughfares hide the back alleys and taking the high road can sometimes lead you to a dead end. Depicting the modern urban zone—familiar to city-dwellers everywhere—NW is a quietly devastating novel of encounters, mercurial and vital, like the city itself.
Zadie Smith was born in north-west London in 1 97 5 . She is the author of the novels White Teeth, The Autograph Man and On Beauty, which was short list ed for the Booker Prize. She is also the author of a collection of essays, Changing My Mind, and the editor of The Book of Other People.
