Podcast appearances and mentions of Zadie Smith

"Once the tone is there, all else follows." - Stine deelt een levenswijsheid van schrijver Zadie Smith.

Bohaterką tego odcinka jest Natalia Ginzburg – jedna z najwybitniejszych pisarek XX wieku, której zbiór esejów zatytułowany „Małe cnoty” po 6 dekadach od włoskiej premiery możemy czytać po raz pierwszy w polskim tłumaczeniu.Teksty Natalii Ginzburg, mimo że pisane były w połowie ubiegłego stulecia, dziś wydają się bardziej aktualne niż pół wieku temu. I nie przestają inspirować, do fascynacji „Małymi cnotami” przyznaje się bowiem wiele współczesnych pisarek, między innymi Zadie Smith, Sally Rooney czy Elena Ferrante.Natalia Ginzburg była mistrzynią prostego, ascetycznego języka, w którym nie było miejsca na przypadkowe czy zbędne słowa. Dlatego jej zdania z jednej strony urzekają prostotą, z drugiej zaś niosą w sobie ogromną siłę.Prowadzenie: Agata KasprolewiczGość: Ewa WieleżyńskaKsiążka: „Małe cnoty” Natalia Ginzburg/przekład: Weronika Korzeniecka/  wydawnictwo Filtry---------------------------------------------Raport o stanie świata to audycja, która istnieje dzięki naszym Patronom, dołącz się do zbiórki ➡️ ⁠https://patronite.pl/DariuszRosiak⁠Subskrybuj newsletter Raportu o stanie świata ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠➡️ ⁠https://dariuszrosiak.substack.com⁠Koszulki i kubki Raportu ➡️ ⁠https://patronite-sklep.pl/kolekcja/raport-o-stanie-swiata/⁠ [Autopromocja]

Zadie Smith's White Teeth marked its 25th anniversary in January. The now canonical novel tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a shy Englishman named Archie Jones and his friend Samad Iqbal, a devout Bengali Muslim. Both men are trying to pass on their religious and moral beliefs to their children. In today's episode, we revisit a conversation between Smith and NPR's Liane Hansen that aired shortly after White Teeth's release. Then, we'll hear some of Smith's conversation last month on NPR's Wild Card with Rachel Martin in which Smith reflects on the novel's anniversary. The two discuss the author's distance from the person she was when she wrote White Teeth and the novel's place among the canon of books for teenagers.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Entretien mené par Raphaëlle Leyris À travers cet ensemble de réflexions (issues de conférences données 2022 à l'université d'Oxford), Juan Gabriel Vásquez explore les caractéristiques du roman, les liens entre fiction et réalité, les zones d'ombre dont s'empare la littérature pour éclairer l'Histoire et sa capacité unique à « traduire » la complexité des vies humaines. Pour assoir son propos, il convoque une pléiade d'écrivains – Zadie Smith, Proust, Yourcenar, Kundera, Defoe, Tolstoï, Tchekhov, etc. –, analyse l'histoire colombienne et sa violence ou observe comment le célèbre récit du massacre des bananeraies de Cent Ans de solitude est devenu une vérité pour une partie de ses compatriotes. Réponse subtile et argumentée à la question de l'appropriation culturelle, portés par l'érudition de leur auteur, ces textes cherchent à redéfinir les usages de la fiction et les raisons pour lesquelles, aujourd'hui, elle est plus indispensable que jamais. À lire – Juan Gabriel Vàsquez, La traduction du monde, traduit de l'espagnol (Colombie) par Isabelle Gugnon, Seuil, 2025.

London today is very different from the one Zadie Smith grew up in and the one she wrote about in her debut novel "White Teeth." That is just one of the things Smith is grappling with 25 years after her best-selling book's debut. She talks to Rachel about the difficulty of revisiting the first few pages of "White Teeth," the wisdom only teenagers possess, and fighting despair with crème brûlée.To listen sponsor-free, access bonus episodes and support the show, sign up for Wild Card+ at plus.npr.org/wildcardLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher are joined by Deborah Treisman, the fiction editor at The New Yorker and host of The New Yorker's Fiction podcast. Deborah is the editor of a new anthology of short stories, A Century of Fiction in The New Yorker, 1925-2025, which features some of the incredible writers that The New Yorker has published over the past 100 years. There are stories by J.D. Salinger, Philip Roth, Muriel Spark, Vladimir Nabokov, Jamaica Kincaid, Mary Gaitskill, Don DeLillo and Zadie Smith and many, many more. Deborah discusses how she put the collection together and how she thinks about the short story as a form.

“Naked Girl is a story of the enduring power of love in a family of lunatics,” says Janna Brooke Wallack of her debut novel, a poignant piece of literary fiction. Though not autobiographical, it reads like a memoir. Wallack's enduring voice and fresh vision evoke the storytelling of masterful novelists like Ann Patchett, Kristin Hannah, and Zadie Smith. Naked Girl is a captivating and moving story that explores the dysfunction of a family, the struggles of 'fitting in' and the power of hope, humor, and imperfect love. Growing up motherless in 1980's Miami Beach, Sienna and her little brother Siddhartha get by with their charismatic and capricious father, Jackson Jones. When a small windfall relocates them to a condemned mansion on the water, the siblings are forbidden traditional schooling and left to live off the land. As Jackson uses their new home to create a communal cult, the siblings are forced to raise themselves in a carefree, chaotic oasis. Living amidst the vagrant seekers who take up residence in Jackson's utopia, Sienna and Siddhartha strive to protect their unconventional family.Janna Brooke Wallack writes with warmth, compassion and comic brilliance in Naked Girl, an enthralling debut novel brimming with the adventure, resilience, humor and heartbreak of growing up on the fringe of decency and longing for the unattainable comfort of home.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

My guest today is the fashion designer Bella Freud. Bella launched her eponymous label in 1990. Over thirty years later it remains resolutely independent, one of the very few that hasn't been subsumed by a fashion conglomerate.  Bella's clothes are for wearing and have become a byword for women who want to be glamorous but not girly with a bit of added wit. Her iconic word jumpers are one of the most covetable individual fashion items bar none. (As her instant-sell out collaboration with M&S proved.) Bella has always played with her heritage (her father, the artist Lucian Freud designed her famous dog logo and great-grandfather was Sigmund Freud, widely credited as the inventor of psycho analysis) and now she's launched a podcast - Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud - where she literally puts celebrities on the couch to analyse their relationship with style. Eric Cantona, Zadie Smith and even Kate Moss have succumbed and, I have to say, it's an eye-opener. I met Bella at home in North West London to talk about growing up outside convention and how she finally shook off her childhood coping mechanisms. We discussed the “wonderful feeling of progress” that's come with ageing, what we can gain from unravelling life's knots and the impact of losing both of her parents in one week. Bella also told me how her body image shaped her designs and how she's learnt to appreciate her body as she's aged. Fashion is a magic carpet, she says, and she's the living proof. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com • The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls @ Pineapple Audio Production.

Flat-World Fiction: Digital Humanity in Early Twenty-First-Century America (University of Georgia Press, 2021) Dr. Liliana Naydan analyses representations of digital technology and the social and ethical concerns it creates in mainstream literary American fiction and fiction written about the United States in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. In this period, authors such as Don DeLillo, Jennifer Egan, Dave Eggers, Joshua Ferris, Jonathan Safran Foer, Mohsin Hamid, Thomas Pynchon, Kristen Roupenian, Gary Shteyngart, and Zadie Smith found themselves not only implicated in the developing digital world of flat screens but also threatened by it, while simultaneously attempting to critique it. As a result, their texts explore how human relationships with digital devices and media transform human identity and human relationships with one another, history, divinity, capitalism, and nationality. Dr. Naydan walks us through these complex relationships, revealing how authors show through their fiction that technology is political. In the process, these authors complement and expand on work by historians, philosophers, and social scientists, creating accessible, literary road maps to our digital future. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Zadie Smith napisała powieść wiktoriańską. Jeszcze dekadę temu coś takiego wydawać się mogło niemożliwe, ale jednak. We wrześniu 2024 na polskim rynku ukazała się „Oszustwo” w przekładzie Justyna Huni. O czym traktuje książka, na którą Smith kazała swoim czytelnikom czekać aż osiem lat? Otrzymujemy tutaj wielowątkową (mozaikową?) historię, w której centrum znajduje się Eliza Touchet, gospodyni, redaktorka, a także kochanka znanego pisarza (Williama Harrisona Ainswortha) oraz jego żony. Cięty język Elizy, trafność w ocenie sytuacji i ponadprzeciętna inteligencja sprawiają, że jest ona dla nas doskonałą przewodniczką po świecie literackim XIX wiecznej Anglii. Ale powieść ta to coś więcej. To traktat na temat wolności, nierówności i tego, że czasami chcemy czegoś tak bardzo, że świadomie zgadzamy się na bycie oszukiwanymi.      O książce rozmawialiśmy w składzie: Kasia Janusik, Agata Matkowska i Waldek Mazur. Realizacja: Piotr „Piciu” Pflegel     Udanego słuchania!

Swallowing a World: Globalization and the Maximalist Novel (U Nebraska Press, 2024) offers a new theorization of the maximalist novel. Though it's typically cast as a (white, male) genre of U.S. fiction, maximalism, Benjamin Bergholtz argues, is an aesthetic response to globalization and a global phenomenon in its own right. Bergholtz considers a selection of massive and meandering novels that crisscross from London and Lusaka to Kingston, Kabul, and Kashmir and that represent, formally reproduce, and ultimately invite reflection on the effects of globalization. Each chapter takes up a maximalist novel that simultaneously maps and formally mimics a cornerstone of globalization, such as the postcolonial culture industry (Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children), the rebirth of fundamentalism (Zadie Smith's White Teeth), the transnational commodification of violence (Marlon James's A Brief History of Seven Killings), the obstruction of knowledge by narrative (Zia Haider Rahman's In the Light of What We Know), and globalization's gendered, asymmetrical growth (Namwali Serpell's The Old Drift). By reframing analysis of maximalism around globalization, Swallowing a World not only reimagines one of the most perplexing genres of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries but also sheds light on some of the most perplexing political problems of our precarious present.

W tym odcinku "Raportu o książkach Agaty Kasprolewicz" zapraszamy na spotkanie z Zadie Smith - jedną na najbardziej popularnych i lubianych na świecie brytyjskich pisarek. Na nową powieść kazała czekać swoim czytelnikom 8 lat, ale warto było, bo „Oszustwo” to pierwsza w jej literackim dorobku powieść historyczna, w której pisarka rekonstruuje jeden z najbardziej emocjonujących i awanturniczych procesów sądowych w dziejach Wielkiej Brytanii. Rzeźnik podający się za barona pociągnął za sobą armię wyznawców, rozpalając serca i umysły ludzi, a także pierwsze strony brytyjskich gazet. Wiktoriańska Anglia posłużyła Zadie Smith za literackie lustro, w którym odbijają się nasze współczesne demony. Znajdziemy w niej ślady: Brexitu, procesu O.J. Simpsona, trumpizmu, debaty wokół zmian klimatycznych i współczesnego rasizmu…ale, jak mówi sama autorka, jest w niej też dużo nadziei. „Oszustwo” to powieść w tym samym stopniu historyczna, co radykalnie współczesna. „Oszustwo” Zadie Smith w przekładzie Justyna Huni ukazało się nakładem wydawnictwa ZNAK.

In the spirit of trying to channel his obsession with the US election in a (somewhat) productive way, Darren welcomes back Andrew Phillips from the University of Queensland to talk through the extent to which Trump is a ‘normal' political candidate versus an existential threat to US democracy. Along the way, Darren cannot resist the temptation to introduce Francis Fukuyama's “last man” model of political resistance, often overlooked when his “End of History” thesis is discussed. Australia in the World is written, hosted, and produced by Darren Lim, with research and editing this episode by Walter Colnaghi and theme music composed by Rory Stenning.

I stumbled on a Zadie Smith line recently that stopped me in my tracks. She was writing in January 2017, and describing the political stakes of that period — Brexit in the U.K., Trump in the U.S. — and the way you could feel it changing people.“Millions of more or less amorphous selves will now necessarily find themselves solidifying into protesters, activists, marchers, voters, firebrands, impeachers, lobbyists, soldiers, champions, defenders, historians, experts, critics. You can't fight fire with air. But equally you can't fight for a freedom you've forgotten how to identify.”What Smith is describing felt so familiar — how politics can sometimes feel like it demands we put aside our internal conflict, our uncertainty, so we can take a strong position. I see it so often in myself and people around me, and yet I rarely hear it talked about. And Smith's ability to give language to these kinds of quiet battles inside of ourselves is one reason she's been one of my favorite writers for years.Smith is the author of novels, including “White Teeth,” “On Beauty” and “NW,” as well as many essays and short stories. Her latest novel, “The Fraud,” also deals with politics and identity. It's about a case in 19th-century London, but it has eerie resonances with our current political moment. I wasn't surprised to learn that Trump and populism were front of mind for her when she wrote it. In this conversation, we discuss what populism is really channeling, why Smith refuses the “bait” of wokeness, how people have been “modified” by smartphones and social media, and more.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:Feel Free by Zadie Smith“Fascinated to Presume: In Defense of Fiction” by Zadie SmithAmusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman“Generation Why?” by Zadie SmithBook Recommendations:The Director by Daniel KehlmannThe Rebel's Clinic by Adam ShatzThe Diaries of Virginia WoolfThoughts?

Kate Wolf speaks with writer and journalist Yasmin Zaher about her debut novel, The Coin. An allegorical tale of alienation, loneliness, and repulsion, the book follows a Palestinian woman who's recently fulfilled her family's dream of moving to America. In New York, working as a middle school teacher, she finds herself disillusioned with the filth of the city and its poverty. She's beset with a deep unease at her own body and haunted by memories, especially that of a coin—a shekel—she swallowed on a car ride as a child just moments before a horrible accident. Estranged from the few people she knows in the city, her behavior becomes increasingly unhinged and bizarre in ways that complicate standard stories of immigration, and instead imagine the path of a character who sees through America's promise and realizes she has nothing to lose. Also, Nell Irvin Painter, author of I Just Keep Talking, returns to recommend three books and one magazine: The Plague Edition of Konch Magazine edited by Ishmael Reed and Tennessee Reed's; Black Art and Aesthetics: Relationalities, Interiorities, Reckonings edited by Michael Kelly and Monique Roelofs; James: a Novel by Percival Everett; and Changing My Mind: Occasional Essays by Zadie Smith.

This week, Quinta and Scott were joined by Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien to discuss how he is coping with the end of the New York trial and to run through some of the week's big national security news stories, including:“A Perfect Conviction.” Last week, after less than two days of deliberation, a jury in New York state criminal court found former President Trump guilty of all 34 criminal counts on which he was being tried. He's now scheduled to be sentenced just days before the Republican National Convention this summer, where he is expected to be named the party's 2024 presidential nominee. What does this conviction mean for Trump's campaign? What are his prospects for appeal? And what happens if he still wins?“Biden Time.” Last week, President Biden laid out a three-step cease-fire plan for Gaza, sending the clearest signal yet that he is intent on ending the conflict there. Both sides have accepted the plan in principle but have yet to reach agreement on the particulars—and, meanwhile, Israel's Rafah operation has continued. Is this finally a sign of the Gaza end game? Or that the end is nigh for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's government, which is under increasing domestic and international pressure?“Order on the Border.” This week, the Biden administration unveiled a new executive order that will make it harder for migrants crossing the southern U.S. border to apply for and receive asylum during periods of high border traffic, facilitating their prompt removal. Is this move a reasonable policy measure, cynical election politics, or something else entirely?For object lessons, Quinta recommended Zadie Smith's new-ish novel, “The Fraud.” Scott shared a note from the archives about high cetacean fashion. And Tyler passed along an inspirational story about Osaka airport's amazing luggage record.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

On this week's show, the panel is first joined by Slate culture writer (and the Gabfest's Senior Beyoncé Correspondent) Nadira Goffe to dissect Beyoncé's latest album, Cowboy Carter. Released on March 29th, Cowboy Carter is a 27-track behemoth with a country soul, packed with archival footage and songs that span multiple genres. To call it a country album would be too simplistic, so we'll stick with Queen Bey's own words: Cowboy Carter is a Beyoncé album. Then, the three jump into Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World, an avant-garde film from Romanian director Radu Jude that perfectly captures life in the 21st century. Finally, the trio examine Steve! (martin): a documentary in 2 pieces, a new two-part series directed by Morgan Neville (Will You Be My Neighbor?), which analyzes the legendary Steve Martin, an inscrutable human being and American icon.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel discusses their personal relationships to hotels.  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Outro music: "I Can Still Dance" by Tigerblood Jewel Endorsements: Dana: Critic Nicolas Rapold's interview with Radu Jude, the director of Do Not Expect Much From the End of the World, on his podcast, The Last Thing I Saw.
