On Beauty (Penguin)
Obliquely about On Beauty,
this intense, abstract conversation is about what a novel is and how it
represents a particular culture, and about what a culture is and how it
can create the illusion of identity. The search for identity, Smith
maintains, is a delusion. The search for beauty and truth depends upon
destroying the lie of identity
