She contributes regularly to The New Yorker and the New York Review of Books on a range of subjects, and each piece of hers is a literary event in its own right.Arranged into four sections-In the World, In the Audience, On the Bookshelf, and Feel Free-this new collection poses questions we immediately recognize. What is The Social Network-and Facebook itself-really about' "It's a cruel portrait of us : 500 million sentient people entrapped in the recent careless thoughts of a Harvard sophomore." Why do we love libraries' "Well-run libraries are filled with people because what a good library offers cannot be easily found elsewhere: an indoor public space in which you do not have to buy anything in order to stay." What will we tell our granddaughters about our collective failure to address global warming' "So I might say to her, look: the thing you have to appreciate is that we'd just been through a century of relativism and deconstruction, in which we were informed that most of our fondest-held principles were either uncertain or simple wishful thinking, and in many areas of our lives we had already been asked to accept that nothing is essential and everything changes-and this had taken the fight out of us somewhat."Gathering in one place for the first time previously unpublished work, as well as already classic essays, such as, "Joy," and, "Find Your Beach," Feel Free offers a survey of important recent events in culture and politics, as well as Smith's own life. Equally at home in the world of good books and bad politics, Brooklyn-born rappers and the work of Swiss novelists, she is by turns wry, heartfelt, indignant, and incisive-and never any less than perfect company. This is literary journalism at its zenith. 520 A collection of both previously unpublished works and classic essays includes discussions of recent cultural and political events, social networking, libraries, and the failure to address global warming. 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record. 650 0 English essays. 650 7 English essays.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00910809 655 4 Electronic books. 700 12 Smith, Zadie.|tNorthwest London blues. 700 12 Smith, Zadie.|tElegy for a country's season. 700 12 Smith, Zadie.|tFences. 700 12 Smith, Zadie.|tOn optimism and despair. 700 12 Smith, Zadie.|tGeneration why? 700 12 Smith, Zadie.|tHouse that Hova built. 700 12 Smith, Zadie.|tBrother from another mother. 700 12 Smith, Zadie.|tSome notes on attunement. 700 12 Smith, Zadie.|tWindows on the will. 700 12 Smith, Zadie.|tDance lessons for writers. 776 08 |iElectronic reproduction of (manifestation):|aSmith, Zadie.|tFeel free|dNew York : Penguin Press, 2018 |z9781594206252|w(NjBwBT)bl2017051352|w(OCoLC)993419528 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0021090820|zFound on Boundless
