Kipps and Belsey -- The anatomy lesson -- On beauty and being wrong.
Just outside of Boston, in the small college town of Wellington, lives a family that is anything byt typical. Liberated by education, complicated by race, and hobbled by self-delusion, they are about to stray onto the battleground that divides personl belief from political conviction. On Beauty is Zadie Smith's brilliant, hilarious send-up of the culture wars that define our age. --
