Swing Time: LONGLISTED for the Man Booker Prize 2017 de Zadie Smith

Swing Time: LONGLISTED for the Man Booker Prize 2017

Autor Zadie Smith
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 iul 2017
Dazzlingly energetic and deeply human, Swing Time is a story about friendship and music and true identity, how they shape us and how we can survive them. Moving from north-west London to West Africa, it is an exuberant dance to the music of time.
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...

Recenzii

A nuanced, richly rewarding tale
Publisher's description. Dazzlingly energetic and deeply human,Swing Timeis Zadie Smith's most ambitious novel yet: a story about friendship and music and true identity, how they shape us and how we can survive them. Moving from north-west London to West Africa, it is an exuberant dance to the music of time.
Endlessly satisfying... [Zadie Smith] has never written better. Pitch-perfect, masterful and sophisticated
Zadie Smith is the best writer of our generation, andSwing Timeis her best book to date.As the title promises, the novel swings and pulsates with life, filled with emotion, excited by intellect and haunted by sadness. What a miracle that literature can still do things other forms of art cannot.What a miracle that Zadie Smith is among us, writing.
Clever, funny, confident and kind. Her gift for language is a pleasure and her character shines through
[Smith] packs moreintelligence, humour and sheer energyinto any given scene than anyone else of her generation
Zadie Smith's finest novel. Extraordinary, virtuosic... [It] does what only literature can and what onlygreatliterature will: forces us to assess the very vocabulary with which we speak of human experience
Zadie Smith at her finest... [An] unflinching portrait of friendship... [A] triumph
Ingenious, inspired... Zadie Smith's new novel is very good indeed
Shrewd observation and sly satire, profundity and genuine purpose, as well as some of the most heart-stoppingly lyrical writing of her career
A powerful story of lives marred by secrets, unfulfilled potential, the unjustness of the world...and the dances people do to rise above it all
A sweeping meditation on race and identity... [Smith's] most ambitious work yet

Textul de pe ultima copertă

'Superb. One of the most entertaining novels you'll read this year' The Times Literary Supplement
How do we become who we are?
Can we ever truly escape our origins?
Must we dance to the music of our time?
Set in London, New York and West Africa, Swing Time is about two brown girls from Willesden who dream of being dancers. Only one - Tracey - has the talent. But the other has ideas which take her further than she could ever have imagined. It is a story of finding happiness in the meanest of places and feeling sad when all around you are happy. It's about the choices we make and the choices made for us. Above all, it's a tale of the friendships that anchor us, define us, and change us forever.
'Smith's finest [novel]. Truly marvellous, so extraordinary. Has brilliant things to say about race, class and gender' Observer
'A thrilling, multilayered tour-de-force' Los Angeles Times
'Smith has never written better. Her dialogue is pitch-perfect, her comic timing masterful' Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year
'Dazzling' Irish Independent
'A true, beautifully executed tragicomedy. Some of the most heart-stoppingly lyrical writing of Smith's career' Scotland on Sunday
