May all beings everywhere, with whom we are inseparably interconnected, be fulfilled, awakened, and free. May there be peace in this world and throughout the entire universe, and may we all together complete the spiritual journey.

Zadie Smith’s London
Zadie Smith’s London [in NW] is teeming, contemporary and full of talk. Her last novel, On Beauty, was thought by some (and eventually by Smith herself) to have strained a bit for the tones and habits of New England academics. Now, she’s back with an arpeggio of London speech that is comic, soaring, true to life. More than that, though, she creates a believable world of mixtures and contrasts: London as it really is.
