Zadie Smith's tale of two colliding/imploding families at a New England liberal arts college maintains her usual insight into and (seeming) compassion for her characters, but also pushes their flaws such to aggravating levels that I can barely deal with them anymore. And I can't decide if she's wildly exaggerating or actually dead on. If I wanted to yell advice at every single character constantly, does this mean people I know probably want to do the same at me?
