Not as great as White Teeth, but still really damn good. Man, I've come to love Zadie's work. Probably because I really relate to some of her writerly sensibilities. I mean, I get it. I cheer her on. NW contains some absolute gem passages: the dinner party (pitch perfect!), the contemporary urban pastoral (as I call it) prose poem, the "god" chapter, the cathedral chapter, the casting of Keisha/Natalie, etc. However, while NW shines in its parts, it's not a whole (like White Teeth). It almost feels unfinished, as if it's a narrative stuck on itself. Nonetheless, I will reread it, which is my fiction litmus test.
