YMMV / White Teeth

• Jerkass Woobie:
  • Millat. At least, Joyce Chalfen and his many female admirers seem to think so.
  • Also Mad Mary, a bizarre Street Performer whose "act" consists of spitting on people, hitting them with her walking stick, and reciting hate-filled poetry. She only appears for a few pages, but gets a memorable Cry for the Devil treatment.
• Retroactive Recognition: Josh Malfen would later develop telepathic powers while working on his PhD genetics thesis at Oxford University.
