Zadie Smith has stated that "On Beauty" was heavily influenced by E.M. Forester's "Howards End." She stated, "I wanted the novel to be a record of beautiful things I'd loved -- novels, pieces of music, certain human faces, paintings." Her debut novel, "With Teeth," was written when the author was only 24. She followed it up with her second novel "The Autograph Man." She explores the concept of the novel, identity and culture in "On Beauty," which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and won the 2006 Orange Prize for Fiction and the Anisfeld-Wolf Book Award.
