LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2017 'Smith's finest. Extraordinary, truly marvellous' Observer 'Superb' Financial Times 'Breathtaking' TLS 'Pitch-perfect' Daily Telegraph 'A tale of two girls who meet in a West London dance class... A page-turner that's also beautifully written ' Glamour 'There is still no better chronicler of the modern British family than Zadie Smith' Telegraph SHORTLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDS 2017 A dazzlingly 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, black bodies and black music, what it means to belong, what it means to be 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. Bursting with energy, rhythm and movement, Swing Time is Zadie Smith's most ambitious novel yet. It is a story about music and identity, race and class, those who follow the dance and those who lead it . . .

Twee vriendinnen uit een arme wijk in Noord-Londen dromen ervan danseres te worden. Maar slechts een van hen heeft talent. Het andere meisje moet haar droom prijsgeven, maar zal zijdelings in de wereld van de dans blijven als persoonlijk assistente van een wereldberoemde popster _ een bestaan vol glamour, maar altijd de glamour van anderen. De moeilijke relatie met haar moeder confronteert haar bovendien met allerlei vragen over haar afkomst. Wat hebben muziek, dans en persoonlijke ambitie met elkaar te maken? In hoeverre val je samen met de geschiedenis van je voorouders? En wanneer is een mens eigenlijk vrij? De hechte maar ingewikkelde vriendschap tussen deze meisjes eindigt abrupt als ze begin twintig zijn, maar ze blijven elkaars leven op afstand bepalen. Swing Time is een oogverblindend, energiek en hartverwarmend verhaal over vriendschap, muziek en afkomst en hoe al deze dingen bepalen wie we zijn. Deze roman, die beweegt tussen de contrasterende decors van Noordwest-Londen en West-Afrika, is een exuberante dans op de muziek van de tijd. Zadie Smith (1975) is een van de grootste en invloedrijkste schrijvers van haar generatie. Ze publiceerde de veelvuldig bekroonde romans Witte tanden, De handtekeningenman, Over schoonheid, NW, De ambassade van Cambodja en de essaybundel Ik heb mij bedacht. Ze schrijft regelmatig voor The New Yorker en The New York Review of Books. 'Een eerbewijs aan de dans als verbindende kracht, vol indringende observaties. Een roman met een enorme reikwijdte en onvergetelijke personages. Swing Time heeft een bijtende humor, omspant bijna letterlijk de wereld en is een duizelingwekkende zoektocht naar identiteit, persoonlijke voldoening en liefde. Dit verhaal van een verloren en hervonden vriendschap gaat heel veel mensen aanspreken.' Booklist 'Een scherpe, met grote beheersing geschreven roman over de dans en de zwarte identiteit, van een schrijfster die zich vaardig door een mijnenveld van culturele vraagstukken beweegt. Smith verbluft met haar beschrijvingen en de ontwikkeling van haar intrige, toont wereld- en mensbeelden met de scherpte van een camera. Een ontroerende, geestige en belangrijke roman die de grote levensvragen aan de orde stelt met de sierlijke behendigheid van een Fred Astaire of Michael Jackson.' Kirkus Reviews 'Een sterke en rijke roman. Breed van opzet maar ook diep, vooral waar Smith haar briljante kijk op de popcultuur ventileert.' Publishers Weekly

Revisiting the terrain of her acclaimed novel NW, The Embassy of Cambodia is another remarkable work of fiction from Zadie Smith. 'The fact is, if we followed the history of every little country in the world -- in its dramatic as well as its quiet times -- we would have no space left in which to live our own lives or apply ourselves to our necessary tasks, never mind indulge in occasional pleasures, like swimming . . . ' First published in the New Yorker, The Embassy of Cambodia is a rare and brilliant story that takes us deep into the life of a young woman, Fatou, domestic servant to the Derawals and escapee from one set of hardships to another. Beginning and ending outside the Embassy of Cambodia, which happens to be located in Willesden, north-west London, Zadie Smith's absorbing, moving and wryly observed story suggests how the apparently small things in an ordinary life always raise larger, more extraordinary questions. 'Its range is lightly immense... a fiction of consequences both global and heart-rendingly intimate' Guardian 'Smith serves up a smasher' Independent Playful... unexpected and absolutely right... Skips to a beat all of its own' Times Praise for NW: 'A triumph . . .modern London is explored in a dazzling portrait . . . every sentence sings' Guardian 'Intensely funny, richly varied, always unexpected. A joyous, optimistic, angry masterpiece. No better English novel will be published this year' Philip Hensher, Daily Telegraph 'Absolutely brilliant . . . So electrically authentic, it reads like surveillance transcripts' Lev Grossman, TIME

In this YA novel in verse from bestselling authors Kwame Alexander and Mary Rand Hess (Solo), which Kirkus called “lively, moving, and heartfelt” in a starred review, Noah and Walt just want to leave their geek days behind and find “cool,” but in the process discover a lot about first loves, friendship, and embracing life . . . as well as why Black Lives Matter is so important for all. Best friends Noah and Walt are far from popular, but Walt is convinced junior year is their year, and he has a plan that includes wooing the girls of their dreams and becoming amazing athletes. Never mind he and Noah failed to make their baseball team yet again, and Noah’s crush since third grade, Sam, has him firmly in the friend zone. While Walt focuses on his program of jazz, podcasts, batting cages, and a “Hug Life” mentality, Noah feels stuck in status quo … until he stumbles on a stash of old love letters. Each one contains words Noah’s always wanted to say to Sam, and he begins secretly creating artwork using the lines that speak his heart. But when his art becomes public, Noah has a decision to make: continue his life in the dugout and possibly lose the girl forever, or take a swing and finally speak out. At the same time, American flags are being left around town. While some think it’s a harmless prank and others see it as a form of protest, Noah can’t shake the feeling something bigger is happening to his community. Especially after he witnesses events that hint divides and prejudices run deeper than he realized. As the personal and social tensions increase around them, Noah and Walt must decide what is really important when it comes to love, friendship, sacrifice, and fate.

Two-time Edgar Award winner Rupert Holmes–author of the critically acclaimed Where the Truth Lies and creator of the Tony Award—winning musical whodunit The Mystery of Edwin Drood–now fuses gripping suspense and evocative music in an innovative novel of intrigue set in 1940, during the very heart of the Big Band era. Jazz saxophonist and arranger Ray Sherwood, touring with the Jack Donovan Orchestra, is haunted by personal tragedy. But when a beautiful and talented Berkeley student named Gail Prentice seeks his help in orchestrating a highly original composition called Swing Around the Sun, which is slated to premiere at the Golden Gate Exposition on the newly created Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay, Ray finds himself powerfully drawn to the beguiling coed. Within moments of first setting eyes on her, Ray also witnesses a horrifying sight: a young woman plunging to her death from the island’s emblematic Tower of the Sun. As the captivated Ray learns more about Gail and her unusual family, he finds himself trapped in a tightening coil of spiraling secrets– some personally devastating, all dangerous and deadly– in which from moment to moment nothing is certain, including Gail’s intentions toward him and her connection to the dead woman who made such a grisly impact upon the stunning island. As events speed toward a shocking climax, Ray must use all his physical daring and improvisational skills to unlock an ominous puzzle whose sinister implications stretch far beyond anything he could imagine.
