What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

First edition, first printing, in original publisher's cloth binding with dust wrapper of Zadie Smith's The Autograph Man. In fine condition.

This modern fiction novel follows the story of Alex-Li Tandem, a Jewish-Chinese Londoner who trades in celebrity autographs for a living. It won the Jewish Quarterly-Wingate Literary Prize in 2003. It sparked some controversy by critics; some claimed Smith's obsession with Jewishness was a clear indicator that the novel's author was not Jewish. Despite this, The Autograph Man was a commercial success, and Smith is often credited for featuring protagonists from minority groups.

Zadie Smith rose to success after the publication of her debut novel White Teeth in 2000. Smith is a British-Jamaican author and studied English literature at Kings College, Cambridge. She has won many literary awards, such as the Orange Prize for Fiction ad the Commonwealth Writers' Best Book Award.

In original publisher's binding with gold engraved lettering to the front board and spine, with the unclipped original dust wrapper.
