Grand Union: Zadie Smith

A treasure trove of outstanding stories from `the best writer of our generation` (Gary Shteyngart) - the perfect gift for the Zadie Smith fan in your life

`She`s already one of our best novelists and essayists, this reminds us that her short stories are right up there too` Observer

`Sexy and hilarious. There is no moment in Grand Union when we are not entertained, or doubt that we are in the company of one of our best contemporary writers` Guardian

`Brilliant. Another slam dunk. Street life, patois, music, food, clothes, hair: Smith has her finger on the pulse of life and the utter weirdness of whatever has just become normal. This is a book of and for the times, sobering in its clarity but bracingly witty and clever` Evening Standard

`Smith`s dialogue crackles with mordant wit. This dazzling collection of stories will leave you with plenty to think about` Independent

Interleaving ten completely new and unpublished stories with some of her best-loved pieces from the New Yorker and elsewhere, Zadie Smith presents a dizzyingly rich and varied collection of fiction.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.
