BookPeople Presents Zadie Smith at Central Presbyterian Church
BookPeople and the Texas Book Festival are proud to present Zadie Smith speaking & signing her new novel, SWING TIME.
An ambitious, 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, about black bodies and black music, what constitutes a tribe, or makes a person truly free. Its a close but complicated childhood friendship that ends abruptly in their early twenties, never to be revisited, but never quite forgotten, either
Dazzlingly energetic and deeply human, SWING TIME is a story about friendship and music and stubborn roots, about how we are shaped by these things and how we can survive them. Moving from North-West London to West Africa, it is an exuberant dance to the music of time.
