Zadie Smith has stated that "On Beauty" was heavily influenced by E.M. Forester's "Howards End." She stated, "I wanted the novel to be a record of beautiful things I'd loved -- novels, pieces of music, certain human faces, paintings." Her debut novel, "With Teeth," was written when the author was only 24. She followed it up with her second novel "The Autograph Man." She explores the concept of the novel, identity and culture in "On Beauty," which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and won the 2006 Orange Prize for Fiction and the Anisfeld-Wolf Book Award.

Sinopsis
On Beauty is a 2005 novel by British author Zadie Smith. It takes its title from an essay by Elaine Scarry (On Beauty and Being Just). The story follows the lives of a mixed-race British/American family living in the United States. On Beauty addresses ethnic and cultural differences in both the U.S. A and the U.K. , the nature of beauty, and the clash between liberal and conservative academic values. A short article in the Guardian has described it as a "transatlantic comic saga.
