Zadie Smith was educated at a north London comprehensive and read
English at Cambridge. There she signed a lucrative deal for her first
novel, the acclaimed White Teeth. Her second book received a more muted
reception and she moved to Harvard to teach literature. Now back in
London she is about to publish a new novel set on an American campus

The new novel arrived fully-formed: Zadie Smith woke up one morning,
and On Beauty was all there, in her head. She wanted to write a long
marriage - she'd just got married herself, was curious what 30 years of
it would be like - and she had a plot. When she described it to her new
husband, poet and novelist Nick Laird, however, he pointed out she was
simply rewriting Howards End. But she has never been afraid of tribute,
and Forster was a "first love"; she had a couple of serious wobbles but
this did not put her off.
