Zadie Smith
English-born novelist Zadie Smith began her career with criticially-acclaimed “White Teeth,” a multifaceted exploration of London’s cultural diversity that attracted a lot of attention even before it was published in 1997, and has since established herself as one of the most promising contemporary Black writers. Her continued efforts to promote other young writers culminated in “The Burned Children of America,” a short-story collection that brought modern literary dynamics to the fore and 2005’s “On Beauty” marked one of the bestselling novels of the year. Although she has only authored a few books, Zadie Smith has already proven herself to be a talented, insightful novelist and her rise to prominence is almost certain to continue.
