Feel Free : essays
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Since she burst spectacularly into view almost two decades ago, Zadie Smith has established herself not just as one of the world's preeminent fiction writers, but also a brilliant and singular essayist. Gathering in one place for the first time previously unpublished work, as well as already classic essays, Feel Free offers a survey of important recent evnts in culture and poitics, as well as Smith's own life. Equally at home in the world of good books and bad politics, Brooklyn-born rappers and the work of Swiss novelists, she is by turns wry, heartfelt, indignant, and incisive - and never any less than perfect company. This is literary journalism at its zenith. --,Publisher
