Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Paperback version of Zadie Smith's follow-up to the ultra-successful "White Teeth". This story, of a man who buys and sells autographs, examines the nature of celebrity and its bearing on reality. Campaign to include bus-side advertising, outdoor posters and London Underground. 85,000 sold in hardback. "A terrific advance on her excellent "White Teeth". A brilliant comedy with a tantalising throb of mystic philosophy underneath" Philip Hensher.

Synopsis:

Alex-Li Tandem sells autographs. He hunts for names on paper in a huge network of desire, collecting them, selling them and occasionally faking them; offering people a little piece of fame. To him, enlightenment is some part of himself that cannot be signed, celebrated or sold.
