In her brilliant new essay collection, Zadie Smith addresses pressing cultural and political issues with intellectual sharpness. She passionately defends fiction as a necessary space for empathy. Whether writing about the climate crisis, social injustice, or hidden Black history, she masterfully connects the personal with the political. Moving tributes to literary figures such as Joan Didion and Hilary Mantel testify to the enduring power of precise language. This book is an essential invitation to look closely and sharpen one's perception in a complex world.
