personal computers and CD players. Of course, there are all the usual appliances we all take for granted, such as the washing machine, tumble drier, dishwasher, deep freeze, microwave oven, and video recorder, but they also have an electric trouser press, two power showers, an Olympic-sized spa bath and jacuzzi, three cars, and a music system which plays throughout the whole house. The experiment. What happens if all the props of modern living are removed? To help us find out, we asked the Joneses to turn back the clock fifty years and to switch off all their labour-saving gadgets and push-button entertainment for three days. We also wanted them to stop using their cars. The family, comprising Malcolm, 48, Carol, 43, and their four children Emma, 17, Richard, 14, Tamsin, 9, and Tom, 7, were not enthusiastic, but everyone, except for Emma, agreed to try. (She couldn't stand the thought of being without the telephone and her car, which she had

Ta oli novellide autor, lühijuttude kirjutaja ja kujundaja. Inglise keeles on üks väljend keeping up with the Joneses (Suutma olla nagu su naabrid) ning see väljend saigi alguse tema perest. Ta reisis väga palju mööda maad ringi kuid lõpuks otsustas Ameerikasse korraks tagasi minna, et oma audoktori kraad Yale'i ülikooli kätte saada, mille ta ka sai aastal 1923. 10 Edith on veel peale ,,Süütuse aeg" kirjutanud palju teisi teoseid, nagu näiteks: ,,Vana New York"; ,,Laps"; ,,Jumalad saabuvad"; ,,Kummitused"; ,,Teised kaks"; ,,Lood mehest ja
Plodding Archie is typical in every way until he marries Clara, a beautiful, toothless Jamaican woman half his age, and the couple have a daughter named Irie (the Jamaican word for "no problem"). Samad --devoutly Muslim, hopelessly "foreign"-- weds the feisty and always suspicious Alsana in a prearranged union.

The riotous and tortured histories of the Joneses and the Iqbals are fundamentally intertwined, capturing an empire's worth of cultural identity, history, and hope. Zadie Smith's dazzling first novel plays out its bounding, vibrant course in a Jamaican hair salon in North London, an Indian restaurant in Leicester Square, an Irish poolroom turned immigrant café, a liberal public school, a sleek science institute. A winning debut in every respect, White Teeth
