From the MAN BOOKER PRIZE- and WOMEN'S PRIZE-SHORTLISTED author of Swing Time, White Teeth and On Beauty - a masterful and intimate novel of modern London life

'A triumph. Every sentence sings' Guardian

'Intensely funny, richly varied, always unexpected. A joyous, optimistic, angry masterpiece' Daily Telegraph

'Smith's most satisfying novel. Funny, sexy, weird, full of acute social comedy. She's up there with the best around' Evening Standard

Zadie Smith's brilliant tragicomic NW follows four Londoners - Leah, Natalie, Felix and Nathan - after they've left their childhood council estate, grown up and moved on to different lives. From private houses to public parks, at work and at play, their city is brutal, beautiful and complicated. Yet after a chance encounter they each find that the choices they've made, the people they once were and are now, can suddenly, rapidly unravel. Funny, poignant and vividly contemporary, NW is as brimming with vitality as the city itself.

Complicated social life

Recensito in Italia il 13 aprile 2020

Acquisto verificato

The book is about an ethnically mixed modest quarter of London. The people who live there are very different in social standard, habits, clothing, religion and philosophy. Consequently, a novel about them has to be multi-cultural, a multi-coloured crossover.
The book begins with a woman, called Leah, in her thirties, goes then back to her childhood and adolescence and returns at the end to her situation at the beginning of the book. The second principal character is Keisha, a Nigerian originated woman of the same age. They are growing in the neighbourhood and are bound together by an accident where the mother of Keisha rescues Leah. They feel friends by destiny. This feeling remains all the childhood, youth and adultness, but with big ups and downs. There are moments in their lives when it would be very convenient for the one or the other to move away from the quarter, but they decide against. In their job which they are practicing in the recent time, each in her place, they deal with difficult social situations: Leah distributes Lottery money to poor people, Keisha (who changed her name in Nathalie) works as a tenant in the same district.
Telling the story of the two women means in a first step describing their families, in the following steps their college mates, lovers and eventually their partners with whom they start their families. Nevertheless, it’s not enough for the author Zadie Smith. She weaves other stories in the fabric of the quarter, casual stories with other people who come in touch only for a while, but say significant things about a biotope of delinquency, of drug abuse and recovery, about social ambition and contempt and about the incomprehensibly chaotic sexuality.
The organisation of the whole storytelling material cannot avoid, even needs plenty of unplanned events and encounters because the real life in a multicultural quarter of inequality is exactly so chaotic and confused.
Just seeing the chapter titles the reader wonders what is the logic behind them. In the first part the chapters are numbered in a normal way, but only till chapter 15. After chapter 15 comes chapter 37! And after 37 it goes ahead with 16 and 17 interrupted once more by 37. Then it continues till chapter 22 which is followed by 37! After that there are no numbers any more, but the words ‘guest’ and then ‘host’ as titles. Towards the end (after ‘crossing’) follow as titles several street names in the neighbouring quarter where there live well-established people.
The numbered chapters in the beginning are part of the frame story: Leah is a woman in the thirties and lives with her husband Michel, a francophone black immigrant. Their relationship is on the whole harmonious, but there are two problems unresolved: Firstly, Michel wants children and she doesn’t. She deceives him taking the contraception pill without his knowledge. Secondly, Michel is ambitious to climb up the social ladder: he would like to become rich by making online affairs and to leave this quarter of modest people. Leah has a distinct social vein, a helper syndrome, and becomes easily victim of frauds, for example when she gives money to a drug addicted girl believing her story of a sick mother in a far hospital. She has no intention to leave a quarter where the need of help is evident. This gives sense to her own life.
The frame story is resumed at the end of the novel when Michel detects the deception of Leah and is profoundly shocked. Leah herself is in a depressive, unresponsive lockdown and Michel has to call Nathalie for help.
Nathalie herself is living a tough period in her family life. She, too, is detected by her husband in a hidden activity, in a sexual aberrance. There is no solution, because he refuses any communication, so she cannot excuse or justify. The relationship seems to be broken for ever.
The chapter ‘Guests’ begins at the end of the first part of the frame story. What does this chapter mean? Why does the author introduce three characters whom she lets apart afterward? Is it only for showing different life careers in this part of poorer London, where the drugs are a big temptation for young people to drift out from their family and school misery? Felix is an example of a young man who falls deep and later - having grown a lot - creeps out of the drug’s hell. He discovers a professional chance to buy vintage cars, to repair and make them brilliant and to sell them for a much higher price.
He knows that his new stability is every time in danger, a drug addict can have a relapse and this occurs actually when he goes visiting his former girlfriend. It happens a total breakdown of his new self. The former girlfriend is a convinced drug addict: She wants to live a burning life and is ready to die in the flames.
Tom who sells an old car to Felix, has a job in the financial field and has problems with his girlfriend, a spoiled young woman, full of pretentions and criticisms towards him.
The chapter ‘Hosts’ is the principal part of the novel and describes childhood, youth and early adulthood of Leah and Keisha (later Natalie). There are fundamental differences in the family culture and education principles. Leah is a single child of an earth grown family. Keisha has Nigerian parents, strong Catholics, and two siblings. Keisha works hard at school for getting the best grades; Leah is not at all ambitious.

There seems to be no happy-ending for either couple. Nathalie’s relationship is broken apart. On the other side the ideas of partnership and family life between Leah and Michel are very far from each other.
The reader accepts that there is no definite solution. It makes sense, the novel is a testimony of a complicated social life in a savagely mixed part of London and has to be not linear but chaotic. The friendship between Leah and Nathalie is something that seems very strong and stable: a metaphysical strength, the will of a destiny, is the indestructible link between them.
The immigrants and their children make a multi coloured biotope. Ambition and hard work to reach the self-defined goals are the cement for integration and the protection against the temptations of drugs. Nathalie and Michel embody the right way to a responsible citizenship and a rather good life. Nathan fails: he is seduced by the easy way to make money with drugs and ends as a criminal. Others like Felix fell in the trap, but found a way to free themselves from the fetters of the drug though living with the big danger of recidivism.
This portrait of a popular quarter of a big town is a huge task. The result is sympathetic and empathetic, sensual, chaotic, critic, without mercy, but full of love for these complicated human beings.

Loved how these stories are told and intertwined. I’ve wanted to read a Zadie Smith for a long time and I was not disappointed. Without spoilers, I’ll add that I love the city of London and it was great to see NW be a sort of character itself.

This book took me forever to a) read b) get into and c) comprehend.
Honestly I’m still not really sure what happened, who anyone was or what the point was.
It was like reading someone’s weird fever dream. Nothing made sense, the writing style was very difficult to understand and made it tricky to “get into it”.

Some parts were interesting and I found myself following along but then the next chapter (or page - as the chapters weren’t really structured either) came along and I was back to square one with being confused.

Geniales Buch

Recensito in Germania il 13 settembre 2015

Acquisto verificato

Ich habe es irgendwie geschafft mir einzubrocken, über dieses Buch meine Seminararbeit schreiben zu müssen. Dementsprechend unmotiviert war ich, als ich es bestellt und angefangen habe zu lesen. Zuerst hab ich es irgendwie seltsam gefunden. Und dann immer besser. Am Ende mochte ich es. Letztendlich hab ich mich im Zuge meiner Seminararbeit daran gemacht, die Charaktere mal ein bisschen auseinanderzunehmen. Ich kann nur sagen, inzwischen liebe ich dieses geniale Buch und glaubt es oder nicht, das Schreiben der Seminararbeit macht deswegen mir sogar halbwegs Spaß!
Der Grund für diesen Sinnesumschwung liegt wohl größtenteils in Zadie Smiths toller Art zu schreiben. Sie lässt das Milieu, die ganze Stadt lebendig wirken, ohne Witz, es fühlt sich an als wäre man mittendrin. Außerdem fasziniert es mich, dass alle Charaktere ihren eigenen Schreibstil gewidmet bekommen und Smith es wirklich schafft, ihre Protagonisten konsequent... ehrlich zu beschreiben. Damit meine ich, dass sie tabulos und echt scharfsinnig deren Gedanken und Gefühle ausdrückt und trotzdem alles irgendwie... wie ein Kunstwerk wirkt. Wie es genau ist, ist unmöglich in einer kleinen Rezension auszudrücken. Am besten selber lesen. Kann ich absolut empfehlen :)
