Smith’s début novel White Teeth was introduced to the publishing world in 1997 before it was completed. On the basis of a partial manuscript, an auction for the rights was begun, which was won by Hamish Hamilton. Smith completed White Teeth during her final year at the University of Cambridge. Published in 2000, the novel immediately became a best-seller and received much acclaim. It was praised internationally and won a number of awards, among them the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and the Betty Trask Award. The novel was adapted for television in 2002. In July 2000, Smith’s debut was also the subject for discussion in a controversial essay of literary criticism by James Wood entitled “Human, All Too Inhuman”, where Wood critiques the novel as part of a contemporary genre of hysterical realism where “‘[i]nformation has become the new character” and human feeling is absent from contemporary fiction. In an article for The Guardian in October 2001, Smith responded to the criticism by agreeing with the accuracy of the term and that she agreed with Wood’s underlying argument that “any novel that aims at hysteria will now be effortlessly outstripped”. However, she rejected her debut being categorised alongside major authors such as David Foster Wallace, Salman Rushdie, and Don DeLillo and the dismissal of their own innovations on the basis of being hysterical realism. Responding earnestly to Wood’s concerns about contemporary literature and culture, Smith describes her own anxieities as a writer and argued that fiction should be “not a division of head and heart, but the useful employment of both”.

Smith met Nick Laird at Cambridge University. They married in 2004 in the Chapel of King’s College, Cambridge. Smith dedicated On Beauty to “my dear Laird”. She also uses his name in passing in White Teeth: “An’ all the good-lookin’ men, all the rides like your man Nicky Laird, they’re all dead.”
