Next up for the Service95 Book Club…
“In 2000, Zadie Smith detonated the books world with White Teeth and has been part of our literary DNA ever since. She’s been compared to everyone from Dickens to Rushdie, which is staggering praise for a debut author barely out of university.
This glorious and hilarious intergenerational soap opera of multicultural London spans the 20th century, told through the eyes of the Iqbals and the Joneses, two families you will never forget.
It starts with middle-aged big-hearted loser Archie Jones attempting – and failing – to gas himself in his car, stung by a failed first marriage from which all he salvaged was the vacuum cleaner. He meets 19-year-old Clara, a recovering Jehovah’s Witness of Jamaican heritage, at an End of the World party in a North London squat, and life begins again.
Archie’s friend Samad Iqbal, who looks a bit like Omar Sharif from a certain angle, is still waiting for his wife to be born when the two men meet in the last days of the Second World War. When Samad and Alsana finally meet at their wedding three decades later, she is more than a match - physically and mentally - for her much older husband.
The next generation – twins Millat and Magid Iqbal and Irie Jones – ramp up the volume, pushing their parents to the limit as they challenge their ideas of home and identity.
It’s a big, loud, boisterous and fiercely clever book. Reading Zadie play with the multitudes of language on London’s streets, and explore identity, community and the competing pulls of nature and nurture, is an unforgettable experience. No wonder this book became the literary landmark for a generation.”

How does Zadie Smith handle reviews of her writing?
“I feel like criticism is part of the literary atmosphere and absolutely essential. It helps develop taste, it helps develop the understanding of what is good and bad."
In this month’s episode of the Service95 Book Club podcast, @dualipa speaks to the White Teeth author on stage at the #LondonLiteratureFestival, where they discuss the importance of criticism.

What do Joan Didion, cyberfeminist folklore and gay sports films have in common? They’re all fair game for writer and self-described ‘web weaver’ Sihaam Naik (@sihaamn), whose video essays connect the dots between media, literature and the ideas that shape our world.
Storytelling is on Sihaam’s mind as she prepares longform web weaving for YouTube and Spotify. And it’s on ours too: this month’s theme at Service95 is The Stories We Tell Ourselves. Earlier this week, we partnered with @tiktok_uk on an intimate supper club exploring the power of stories and the people who tell them, where Sihaam joined a table of some of our favourites.
From archival cinema to the perfect bao, swipe through for Sihaam’s latest little pleasures.

For writer @simran, Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas (the Sikh festival that coincides with Diwali) is a time for reflection.
“I use this time of year to remind myself of some of the key values of our religion - equality, standing up for the oppressed and compassion,” she says. But it’s also a time for community, “I love to spend time with my friends and family as well as reconnect with cultural practices I don’t do too often, like dress up and get my henna done.”
From lighting candles to eating with family, Simran took us inside her Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas celebrations.

"I wanted to write, not from the point of view of the newspapers, but from the point of view of life.”
In our latest episode of the Service95 Book Club podcast, which was filmed at the London Literature Festival, #ZadieSmith speaks to @dualipa about how the perception of the west London neighbourhood she grew up in, and the people that lived there, inspired her to write her extraordinary debut novel White Teeth.

On Wednesday we partnered with @tiktok_uk for an evening exploring the theme The Stories We Tell Ourselves, bringing together storytellers from across film, music, literature, TV, art, fashion and beyond.
Held at the wonderful @carousel_ldn, with delicious food from @cometa.restaurant, the night centred around the concept of show and tell, guided by writer, director and filmmaker @basmakhalifa. Each guest was invited to bring an object that told us something about them or their work. The only rule? It had to have a story behind it.
And what stories they were. From Nasa-issued peanuts from the 1990s and Sudanese family heirlooms to journals that inspired poems and bread from Uzbekistan, every object offered a glimpse into someone’s world. All accompanied by a specially curated soundtrack from @haseebiqbal_.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening what it was. To stay in the loop about future Service95 events, make sure you’re subscribed to our newsletter. Sign up now via the link in bio.

Have we got nothing left to say to one another?
After being asked the same question repeatedly on dating apps, editor @oliviarosemh nearly threw her phone in the Thames. As we've slowly turned away from IRL conversations and are on more and more screens, Olivia asks, have we lost the art of conversation? Read more on Service95.com - link in bio.

New podcast episode out now, and this month we’re going back to where it all began for Zadie Smith.
At the #LondonLiteratureFestival, our founder @dualipa sat down with the acclaimed author to revisit her extraordinary debut White Teeth.
Published in 2000, the novel became an instant literary sensation and remains a defining portrait of London and the communities that call it home. In their conversation, the pair look back on the book all these years later, and Zadie reflects on the experience of writing the debut in her early twenties, its unexpected success and her complex but affectionate relationship with the novel today.
Whether White Teeth is already on your bookshelf or you're yet to discover it, consider this your sign to dive into Zadie’s body of work from the very beginning.

What can we do now to prepare for the legacy we will leave behind?
When we think of ancestry, we often look back to the people and cultures that came before us. But what about the ancestors we are set to become? We brought together Nour Batyne and Tamika Abaka-Wood, two people actively working to shape what generations to come will inherit.
