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.
