Dead and Alive, by Zadie Smith
RRP £22, Members' Price £18.70
In this keenly awaited new collection, Zadie Smith brings her skills as an essayist to bear on a range of subjects which have captured her attention in recent years. She invites us along to the movies, to see and to think about Tár, and to Glastonbury to witness the ascendance of Stormzy. She takes us on a walk down Kilburn High Road in her beloved North West London and invites us to mourn with her the passing of writers Joan Didion, Martin Amis, Hilary Mantel, Philip Roth and Toni Morrison. She considers changes of government on both sides of the Atlantic – and the meaning of ‘the commons’ in all our lives.
