"[These essays] mirror a energetic, unselfconscious, thorough, erudite, and earnestly wide open mind that's active refining its view of life, books, and a good deal among." --Los Angeles Times
Put into five sections--Reading, Being, Seeing, Feeling, and Keeping in mind--Changing My Mind finds Zadie Smith casting an serious eye over materials both personal and cultural. This engaging assortment of essays, some released here for the very first time, shows Smith as a passionate and precise essayist, equally at home in the world of great literature and bad movies, family and philosophy, English comedians and Italian divas. Whether writing on Katherine Hepburn, Kafka, Anna Magnani, or Zora Neale Hurston, she brings deft care to the art of criticism with a method both sympathetic and insightful. Changing My Mind is journalism at its most expansive, smart, and funny--a surprise to readers and freelance writers both.
Zadie Smith’s latest book, Swing action Time, will be released by Penguin Press in November 2016.
