[books] Zadie Bites Back — update and interview with Zadie Smith … Phil Davis: ‘…I wanted to get under the skin of a character that I recognised. There are parts of my father in Archie. He’s a product of another era, when things were more fixed and certain, but most people were essentially unhappy, trapped in awful jobs. In many ways, that’s what’s so lifelike about the book. It says, “This is what life is like for most people” – random, mundane, only occasionally inspiring. If you ask me, that’s what touches people about White Teeth.’ [Related: The Autograph Man]
