Feel Free: Essays by Zadie Smith

Following her success with previous novels; White Teeth and Swing Time Smith is back again with a collection of essays.

From social media to the environment, from Jay-Z to Karl Ove Knausgaard, she has boundless curiosity and the boundless wit to match. In Feel Free, pop culture, high culture, social change and political debate all get the Zadie Smith treatment, dissected with razor-sharp intellect, set brilliantly against the context of the utterly contemporary, and considered with a deep humanity and compassion."
