On Beauty by Zadie Smith were well practised at falling

were well practised at falling out with each other

this book relays the big and the small lessons in life

into a 'forever-war' president on the global stage

It shows how to sidestep our animosities and get great things done

risking everything for art and humanity

On Beauty by Zadie Smith were well practised at fallingSet in New England mainly and London partly, On Beauty concerns a pair of feuding families the Belseys and the Kipps and a clutch of doomed affairs. It puts low morals among high ideals and asks some searching questions about what life does to love. For the Belseys and the Kipps, the confusions both personal and political of our uncertain age are about to be brought close to home: right to the heart of family.
