Grand Union
Smith, Zadie
The first ever collection of stories from the Man Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Swing Time and White Teeth
’Zadie Smith is the best writer of our generation’ Gary Shteyngart
’Her dialogue is pitch-perfect, her comic timing
masterful... [And] she also delivers a sophisticated commentary on race,
gender, class, celebrity and power’ Telegraph on Swing Time
’Smith is virtuosic, as ever, on family and
friendship, and her ability to write about large-scale social injustice
without losing her neutral novelist’s gaze is breathtaking’ Times
Literary Supplement on Swing Time
In the summer of 1959, an Antiguan immigrant in
north west London lives the last day of his life, unknowingly caught in
someone else’s story of hate and division, resistance and revolt.
A mother looks back on her early forays into matters
of the human heart - and other parts of the human body - considering
the ways in which desire is always an act of negotiation, destruction,
and self-invention.
A disgraced cop stands amid the broken shards of his
life, unable to move forward into a future that holds no place for him.
Moral panic spreads like contagion through the upper
echelons of New York City - and the cancelled people look
disconcertingly like the rest of us.
A teenage scion of the technocratic elite chases
spectres through a premium virtual reality, trailed by a little girl
with a runny nose and no surviving family.
We all take a much-needed break from this mess, on a
package holiday where the pool’s electric blue is ceaselessly
replenished, while political and environmental collapse happen far away,
to someone else.
Interleaving eleven completely new and unpublished
stories with some of her best-loved pieces from the New Yorker and
elsewhere, Zadie Smith presents a dizzyingly rich and varied collection
of fiction. Moving exhilaratingly across genres and perspectives, from
the historic to the vividly current to the slyly dystopian, Grand Union
is a sharply alert and prescient collection about time and place,
identity and rebirth, the persistent legacies that haunt our present
selves and the uncanny futures that rush up to meet us.
