The Autograph Man



The Autograph Man
by Zadie Smith
read: circa 2003

I read The Autograph Man before White Teeth, and while the latter got a lot more critical acclaim, I enjoyed the former more.  I think it's me; I read The Autograph Man at a time when I was pretty lost, having just graduated college and moved back home, so adrift protagonist Alex-Li Tandem resonated with me.  I might find him a whiny loser if I re-read the book now.
