I read Zadie smith's On beauty.It is the story of howard Belsey, a white professor teaching art history at wellington college in boston.The story revolves around the growing rift between him and his black wife kiki because of his adultery, the life of there 3 childrens, and about monty kipps another professor who has opposing views to that of howard.
Zadie smith has weaved the tale around so many things like, conservative,liberal ideas, boston universities, affirmative action,art,rap etc.But the book as a whole was totally unintresting and boring.I had a feeling of watching a chick flick all through out the book.
The book is hyped and i dont think it deserves a booker prize nomination.
