[edit] Quotes and External Links
Great quotations, but I feel "quotes" qualify under WP:TRIVIA. I've moved one to wikiquote and the other to the White Teeth page. Also, please include external links about Zadie Smith, not her various novels. I've moved the links about White Teeth and On Beauty to their respective novel pages. --Junius49 (talk) 19:10, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Works
Great work here. I've merged the short novel descriptions with their respective pages (and I started a page for the Autograph Man, which I'm currently reading). We should probably keep cleaning up the works section. --Junius49 (talk) 15:53, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Language
As English isn't my mother tongue, I would be happy and thankful if someone would take the time to look over and correct my edits. They should not be too bad, but still...
[edit] Paragraphs: Influence, Topics
Till now I didn't manage to put a lot of information into these paragraphs. I will try to complete them, but would be thankful for any help in this.
[edit] Novel: White Teeth
I guess we will have to go through the stump on White Teeth one day. Hope to find the time in the near future, but maybe one of you is willing?
[edit] Novel: The Autograph Man
Not having read this novel yet, I wasn't really able to add information on it. If some of you find the time it would be nice to have a better description on this site and maybe even a seperate site with more detailed information.
[edit] Works in Gerneral
With such a young author, it was quite tiresome to look through all the websites mentioning her name and putting together links to everything she has published. There was no complete list anywhere. There must still be a lot missing and especially a lot to come. Can you help me keep this list updated?
[edit] Martha and Hanwell
Browsing throgh amazon, I found the following link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0141023120/qid=1109634528/sr=1-9/ref=sr_1_10_9/202-1364067-8327030 Looks like Zadie Smith is about to publish this the next months? Any information? I just know about the plans to publish On Beauty, nevre heard or read about Martha and Hanwell.
[edit] Date of birth
Most sources seem to agree on 27 October, but this is quite comprehensive and it says 25 October. I've seen that date elsewhere too. Does anybody know for sure? JackofOz 13:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] On Beauty
Am planning to add a page on 'On Beauty' shortly, once I've finished reading 'Howard's End'. Just checking nobody's in the middle of doing the same. Fauxvegan 08:47, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- "...mainly set in London" - On Beauty is not mainly set in London. It is mainly set in a fictional New England town. London does feature, but only for a chapter or two.Cravenmonket 01:46, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
