"В своем новом романе Зэди Смит повествует о двух университетских профессорах-врагах, Белси и Кипсе, чьи семьи оказываются тесно связаны друг с другом. Это комедия положений, разворачивающаяся в академическом межкультурном пространстве, такая же яркая, как и первый роман Смит "Белые зубы". В доме Белси, в Бостоне, исповедуют идеи равенства всех людей, бесспорное превосходство демократии, все модные теории об искусстве, пренебрегают идеей богатства и презирают политику. В доме Кипсов говорят о реальной политике, о деньгах, об экономике, объявляют равенство мифом, а мультикультурализм - модной выдумкой. Это противостояние приводит ко многим трагикомическим событиям… Это роман о любви, о понимании того, что есть красота. В 2006 году Зэди Смит получила за роман "О красоте" премию "Оранж" (Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction) - одну из самых престижных в англоязычном мире премий.

In the ninety-ninth district of a sprawling labour camp, the Author, Musician, Scholar, Theologian and Technician - and hundreds just like them - are undergoing Re-education, to restore their revolutionary zeal and credentials.
