"Zadie Smith is the author of three novels of promise, precocity, and occasional brilliance. This collection of short nonfiction has many of the same virtues." "Smith is a superb essayist of skill, candor, and caring....[She] has organized her sharp, funny, and agile essays into sections on reading, being, seeing, feeling, and remembering to create a string and piquant collection." Publisher's noteUnabridged a 9 CDs, 11 hours A volume of essays by the author of On Beauty is comprised of top-selected pieces from the past decade and considers a broad range of topics organized under such main categories as "Reading," "Being," "Seeing" and "Feeling." Simultaneous. AnnotationIn these lucid, candid, and ardent essays, novelist Zadie Smith (WHITE TEETH) discusses a wide variety of subjects including her father's death, her deep admiration for the late author David Foster Wallace, her family's love of British comedy, and her initial resistance to the work of Zora Neale Hurston that gradual became a deep appreciation.. Passionate rather than programmatic, intelligent without dogma, Smith's writing is wonderfully attuned to the swerves and shifts of life, even the life of the mind, and her essays prove how literature can change in its meaning over time, and the world can suddenly be seen in new lights.
