It’s a big week for Zadie Smith and her new novel NW. On Monday, The Millions posted the first lines from the book: 

“The fat sun stalls by the phone masts. Anti-climb paint turns sulphurous on school gates and lampposts. In Willesden people go barefoot, the streets turn European, there is a mania for eating outside. She keeps to the shade. Redheaded. On the radio: I am the sole author of the dictionary that defines me. A good line—write it out on the back of a magazine. In a hammock, in the garden of a basement flat. Fenced in, on all sides.”

And today we’re launching a quick giveaway: win a first edition of NW a full six weeks before it’s available in stores.
