Zadie Smith<br />

Set in northwest London, Zadie Smith’s brilliant tragicomic<br />

novel follows four locals—Leah, Natalie, Fox, and<br />

Nathan—as they try to make adult lives outside of Caldwell,<br />

public parks, at work and at play, these Londoners inhabit<br />

a complicated place, as beautiful as it is brutal, where the<br />

thoroughfares hide the back alleys and taking the high<br />

road can sometimes lead you to a dead end. Depicting<br />

the modern urban zone—familiar to city-dwellers everywhere—NW<br />

is a quietly devastating novel of encounters,<br />

mercurial and vital, like the city itself.<br />

ZaDie sMith was born in northwest<br />

London in 1975. She is the author of White<br />
