A review by samarakroeger
Grand Union by Zadie Smith
Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.
convoluted and pretentious stories that mostly wavered between 2-3 stars. DNFed after reading Intimations and LOVING it. Concluded that I don’t dislike Zadie Smith, I just dislike her approach to short stories.
I did like The Lazy River. But not enough to warrant finishing this 3-star-at-best book.
A red flag: if a collection consists mostly of “never been published before” stories — that is maybe because those stories are otherwise unpublishable. Just read the published ones.
