“The Autograph Collector” is the second novel by the young English writer Zadie Smith (b. 1975). Like her first book, “White Teeth,” it was warmly received by readers and critics, and was awarded prestigious literary awards. With humor and love, he tells about the life of modern multicultural London. Alex Lee Tandem is not a very lucky guy. He makes a living by buying and selling autographs of celebrities. From a young age, Alex dreams of getting at least a line written in her own hand by the star of the fifties, Kitty Alexander, who left the Hollywood horizon and lives as a recluse. And now a postcard comes from America with the treasured flourish. But isn't this a hoax?..
