From the MAN BOOKER PRIZE- and WOMEN'S PRIZE-SHORTLISTED author of Changing My Mind and Swing Time - discover a second unmissable collection of essays from Zadie Smith

'Generous, courageous, and tough-minded... [A] classic English essayist in the vein of Orwell, Woolf and Angela Carter' Financial Times

'Engrossing, astute... Should you read this brilliant book? Absolutely' Independent

'Generous and curious' Evening Standard

'Brilliant, lively and frequently hilarious... She's one of the brightest minds in English literature today' NPR

No subject is too fringe or too mainstream for the unstoppable Zadie Smith. From social media to the environment, from Jay-Z to Karl Ove Knausgaard, she has boundless curiosity and the boundless wit to match. In Feel Free, pop culture, high culture, social change and political debate all get the Zadie Smith treatment, dissected with razor-sharp intellect, set brilliantly against the context of the utterly contemporary, and considered with a deep humanity and compassion.

This electrifying new collection showcases its author as a true literary powerhouse, demonstrating once again her credentials as an essential voice of her generation.

A writer so insistent on the possibility of imaginative connection, so generous and curious with regard to her readers
Brilliant...[Smith's] new book is lively, intelligent and frequently hilarious, and proves that she's one of the brightest minds in English literature today
Refreshingly insightful on any number of topics, from Martin Buber to Justin Bieber...Reviewing a book by her countryman Geoff Dyer, [Smith] writes that she is most struck by 'his tone. Its simplicity, its classlessness, its accessibility and yet its erudition-the combination is a trick few British writers ever pull off.' Without question, Smith is one of them
Brims with a wide-ranging enthusiasm...[Smith's] open-mindedness gives the whole of Feel Free a lively, game-for-anything spirit...Enchanting
Fascinating stuff!
Charmingly digressive...Smith sets an unpretentious tone...As the pages pass, there's a palpable absence of self-certainty. In its place are ample reserves of curiosity and empathy
The joy of this collection is Smith's straightforward phrasing, often summing up her thesis with a single thoughtful sentence. Her words are not overwritten; they do not distract from her purpose, nor are they a barrier to her argument; they are welcoming. I found myself re-reading the brightest of these sentences over and again, marveling at her humor and her brevity
The strongest essays showcase Smith's skills as an art, literary and cultural critic...One of the pleasures of reading Feel Free is in savoring Smith's joy when she writes about formative cultural experiences. As with any book of opinions, Feel Free makes claims one might dispute...But a collection of essays that doesn't prompt disagreements would be a dull book, and Feel Free is anything but dull
Getting In and Out' is the kind of essay that sheds light on a whole career, and it would justify this collection even if Feel Free didn't include a handful of more perfectly crafted pieces of prose
For years, [Smith] has been one of the most important literary journalists we have. This is why

I love Zadie Smith’s novels and reading her essays I feel like I get to know her more as a person and it’s a very rewarding and educational experience. Her essays are diverse in topic and always fascinating. Often I have followed up the people or art works she describes with great engagement. Loved this so much I am on my second reading and there might be a third. Highly recommended to anyone who likes to have their thoughts stimulated and their world expanded.

Thoughtful, topical and a joy

I am an avid reader of Smith's fictional work and thoroughly enjoyed this brilliant book

A true work of art

This woman really knows how to write. I feel like I've been kicked in the head. How would I describe these essays? Complex, insightful, elegant, enjoyable, beautiful, varied, and cerebrally challenging. On the flip side, frequently inaccessible, dull, overblown, and wordy. Definitely need 'three' shredded wheaties in the tank for this one. Still and all, worth the journey.

Fascinating

Too much on some tings, but in end you remember the gems.

I had a hard time following the book reviews.

I'm a huge fan of Zadie Smith's writing. I found some essays more interesting and thoughtful, and others not so much. In all, it was a relatively good read.
