  Zadie Smith 9 September 2005  
Zadie Smith
Talks about her new book, On Beauty

When Zadie Smith became a world renowned writer almost overnight at the tender age of 24, she seemed almost too good to be true.

Her working class, mixed race background and stunning looks seemed to provoke awe and envy in equal measure. Five years later, her third book,On Beauty  is in the running for the Booker Prize.

Zadie Smith joins Ritula Shah to discuss her homage to
E.M. Forster's Howard's End, and her search for the truly beautiful things in life.
 
Zadie's book,On Beauty is published by Hamish Hamilton, ISBN:0241142938
