"When a human being becomes a set of data on a website like FaceBook, he or she is reduced. Everything shrinks. Individual character. Friendships. Language. Sensibility. In a way it's a transcendent experience; we lose our bodies, our messy feelings, our desires, our fears."

#mardiconseil cette première rencontre avec Zadie Smith m'a ravie, j'ai adoré le personnage d'Eliza Touchet avec lequel l'autrice explose les codes du roman victorien. C'est savoureux.

Smith is a master in describing atmospheres, vibes, settings, and reading this felt like I was walking (and seeing, smelling, enjoying, enduring, feeling) London.
It's a pity the characters often felt like stereotypes with not very interesting stories.
NW, Zadie Smith
