Read in 2018 then again in 2022. I'm obviously a sucker for novels that are epic in scope! I still can't believe that Zadie wrote this in her mid-20s. I'm going to steal an arr slash RS Book Club quote about White Teeth:

"White Teeth [is] important insofar as identifying the universal within the particular is concerned" [sic]

So true, anon. I jive with wry British humor interspliced with extremely specific observations about racial, ethnic, and religious politics in late-20th century London.
