Zadie Smith: Dead & Alive
“Every moment happens twice: inside and outside, and they are two different histories.”
“You are never stronger…than when you land on the other side of despair.”
Zadie Smith is one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary writers, penning era-defining titles like White Teeth and On Beauty that have delighted and intrigued readers for decades. Zadie will join us to discuss not only her most renowned, bestselling novels but also her latest book of essays, Dead and Alive.
This evening will be an opportunity to hear Zadie reflect on her greatest works and share what she really thinks about big and small topics such as:
- Glastonbury and the ascendance of Stormzy
- Films like Tár and artists like Toyin Ojih Odutola and Kara Walker
- Changes of government on both sides of the Atlantic
- The death of writers like Joan Didion, Hilary Mantel and Toni Morrison
- Cultural appropriation, gender and so much more...
Join us as Zadie demonstrates her unrivalled ability to think critically and humanely through some of the most urgent preoccupations and tendencies of our troubled times.
