	At the age of 21 and still a college student, Zadie Smith had triggered a lively discussion about the surprising advance she was commissioned for the completion of her at the time unfinished first and a planned second novel. Indeed, ''White Teeth'' (2000) proved to be a huge success among critics and readers alike, won her both the Commonwealth Writers' Prize and the Whitbread Novel Award for Best First Book, was translated into over 20 languages and adapted for a television broadcast in 2002. The second novel, ''The Autograph Man'' (2002) was less debated but widely considered to be a much more mature piece of literature, which won her the Jewish Quarterly Literary Prize for Fiction and lead to a nomination as Granta's one of 20 'Best of Young British Novelists'. Recently, Smith reappeared on the bestseller lists with a novel combining family saga and campus novel: ''On Beauty'' (2005) was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and won both the Orange Prize for Fiction and Somerset Maugham Award in 2006.
