Zadie, Zadie...

I've been off in another land, immersing myself in the writing of Zadie Smith.

Ellen and I sit on the couch, each with our Zadie: I can't put down White Teeth, and Ellen's mid On Beauty.

Zadie Smith slathers big ideas with great characters and loads of humor.

The original idea here at home was to swap Zadies when we finished, but as a part-time laborer, I have the edge. Happily, I can go on to The Autograph Man while I wait for Ellen to catch up.

All this woman's stars are out.

I'll be back in a couple of books.
