SMITH ZADIE DEAD AND ALIVE

An illuminating new essay collection from one of the most distinctive  exciting and acclaimed
writers of her generation  Zadie Smith    'Zadie Smith is a wonderful essayist. She is a
natural. She writes as she thinks  and she thinks crisply and exactly' - Tessa Hadley  Guardian
In this keenly awaited new collection  Zadie Smith brings her unique skills as an essayist to
bear on a range of subjects which have captured her attention in recent years.  She takes an
exhilaratingly close look at artists Toyin Ojih Odutola  Kara Walker and Celia Paul. She
invites us along to the movies  to see and to think about Tár   and to Glastonbury to witness
the ascendance of Stormzy. She takes us on a walk down Kilburn High Road in her beloved North
West London and invites us to mourn with her the passing of writers Joan Didion  Martin Amis 
Hilary Mantel  Philip Roth and Toni Morrison. She considers changes of government on both sides
of the Atlantic - and the meaning of 'the commons' in all our lives.  Throughout this thrilling
collection  Zadie Smith shows us once again her unrivalled ability to think through critically
and humanely some of the most urgent preoccupations and tendencies of our troubled times.
