I've been off reading but in these dark times I'm turning to books, my ultimate comfort, again.
Currently reading Swing Time, Zadie Smith's new book. It is... not that great so far. Of course Zadie being Zadie there are still lots of great quotes already and the writing itself is stellar. I'm just not sure choosing a nameless super passive narrator was the right choice. Also one of the characters is this Madonna-esque popstar... I'm not sure fictionalized popstars ever work.
I'm about 1/4 of the way through so hopefully it gets better.

I know some people were disappointed by On Beauty but it was such a fantastic read to me, so who knows…
Have you read the rest of her bibliography? If yes which book would you recommend (besides White Teeth)?

I also really loved The Autograph Man and enjoyed NW.
I did not like On Beauty but a lot of people seem to love it and consider it her second best after White Teeth so you might want to give it a shot.

I'll follow your recommendation and read The Autograph Man. Thank you very much for answering.
