In her lauded debut, White Teeth, and more recently 2005’s On Beauty, Smith examined the collapse and re-formation of the nuclear family through personal and satirical lenses. Her offering this fall, NW, plays with contrasts between male and female, black and white, and high-minded and plebeian on a larger scale: It’s the story of four Londoners becoming adults in the northwest corner of their city. The book’s structure—and the prose itself—feels restless, so it should be a treat to hear the author wrangle with the text during a live reading.
