“The Return of Zadie Smith” by Gaby Wood
“Some writers are very private, others are actively jealous and competitive; Smith has always been an enthusiast, gathering writers to her as colleagues, admiring her elders like a fan collecting autographs, championing her peers, delighted to discover something new. Apart from her teaching, which she loves, she has edited a volume of short prose (The Book of Other People), has translated from Italian, continues to write criticism and, privately, she is good at keeping in touch with her fiction-producing friends. If writing itself were a political movement, she would be among its most engaged and democratic followers.” – Gaby Wood
