The Book of Other People
''The Book of Other People'' is a collection of short stories, published in 2008 by Penguin Books. Selected and edited by Zadie Smith, it contains 23 short stories by 23 different authors, among them Nick Hornby, David Mitchell, Colm Tóibín, Jonathan Safran Foer, Dave Eggers, as well as Smith herself. The collection, as evidenced by the title, focuses on character; the authors were simply asked to "make somebody up".〔Smith, Zadie. Preface. ''The Book of Other People''. By Zadie Smith, ed. New York: Penguin Books, 2008. vii–ix. “''The Book of Other People'' is about character. The instruction was simple: ''make somebody up''.”〕 As a "charity anthology," the contributors to ''The Book of Other People'' were not compensated for their writing, and the book's proceeds were given to 826NYC, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting students with their creative writing skills.

One of the central requirements for the authors was that each contribution had to bear the character's name as its title.〔 Though the editor, Smith, originally wanted each of the characters to have both first and last names, several of the authors did not include surnames, and that rule was eventually dropped.〔 Indeed, several of the stories—such as "Puppy," "The Liar," and "The Monster"—do not have true names at all.
