Zadie Smith
It doesn’t feel so long ago that Zadie Smith exploded onto the literary scene with her stunning debut novel, “White Teeth.” Twenty-three years later, she has cemented her reputation as one of the most important voices of her generation, whether in the form of fiction, criticism, or cultural observation. Her many novels include “Swing Time” and “On Beauty” - and her new book - “The Fraud. ” It’s a work of historical fiction set in Victorian England. On September 22th, 2023, Smith came to The Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk with Cathy Park Hong, poet and author of “Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning.”
