GRAND UNION / SMITH, ZADIE

Título : GRAND UNION Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: SMITH, ZADIE, Autor Editorial: LONDON : PENGUIN Fecha de publicación: 2019 Número de páginas: 245 p. ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-525-55899-6 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: FICTION  WOMEN  LITERARY Resumen: Zadie Smith has established herself as one of the most iconic, critically respected, and popular writers of her generation. In her first short story collection, she combines her power of observation and her inimitable voice to mine the fraught and complex experience of life in the modern world. Interleaving eleven completely new and unpublished stories with some of her best-loved pieces from The New Yorker and elsewhere, Smith presents a dizzyingly rich and varied collection of fiction. Moving exhilaratingly across genres and perspectives, from the historic to the vividly current to the slyly dystopian, Grand Union is a sharply alert and prescient collection about time and place, identity and rebirth, the persistent legacies that haunt our present selves and the uncanny futures that rush up to meet us.

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. A portrait of modern urban life, NW is funny, sad and urgent - as brimming with vitality as the city itself.

SWING TIME / SMITH, ZADIE

Título : SWING TIME Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: SMITH, ZADIE Editorial: NEW YORK : PENGUIN Fecha de publicación: 2016 Número de páginas: 453 ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-59420-398-5 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: FICTION Resumen: An ambitious, exuberant new novel moving from North West London to West Africa, from the multi-award-winning author of White Teeth and On Beauty. 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. Tracey makes it to the chorus line but struggles with adult life, while her friend leaves the old neighborhood behind, traveling the world as an assistant to a famous singer, Aimee, observing close up how the one percent live. But when Aimee develops grand philanthropic ambitions, the story moves from London to West Africa, where diaspora tourists travel back in time to find their roots, young men risk their lives to escape into a different future, the women dance just like Tracey—the same twists, the same shakes—and the origins of a profound inequality are not a matter of distant history, but a present dance to the music of time.
