SHORTLISTED FOR THE PORTICO PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN
PRIZE 'A beautiful period piece of 1980s Britain, as funny and sad
as anything by Dunbar herself' Alex Preston, Observer (Books of the
Year) 'An outstanding debut novel' Yorkshire Post 'It fizzes like
two Disprin in a pint of cider . . . You can read it in an
afternoon and should; there are too few British novels as
effervescent or as relevant as this' Andy Miller, Spectator Best
known for her classic black comedy Rita, Sue and Bob Too, Andrea
Dunbar wrote three plays before dying at a tragically young age.
This new literary portrayal features a cast of real and imagined
characters set against the backdrop of the infamous Buttershaw
estate during the Thatcher era. A bittersweet tale of the
north/south divide, it reveals how a shy teenage girl defied the
circumstances into which she was born and went on to become one of
her generation's greatest dramatists. Black Teeth and a Brilliant
Smile is a poignant piece of kitchen sink noir that tells Dunbar's
compelling story in print for the very first time. Adelle Stripe's
writing has been described as having 'an abundance of life, from
the casually joyful to the casually harrowing, but always
profoundly empathetic'. Black Teeth and a Brilliant Smile is her
keenly anticipated debut novel.
