Zadie Smith’s “NW” novel and television adaptation
Zadie Smith is one of Britain’s finest novelists and her work is distinguished by the multicultural nature of the milieu of. and characters in, her work.
Her fourth novel was titled simply “NW” – a reference to the part of London featured in the book – and I read and enjoyed it almost three years ago. This week, BBC2 television broadcast an accomplished adaptation of the work which impressed me.
