What can I say? It’s wonderful to hear from Zadie Smith, to dip my toes again into her turns of phrase. Her writing is so familiar to me now, but it’s also always new. As I say every time I read a Zadie Smith piece, this is a person who is somehow about to put into words what no one else has thought to record. I’m forever thankful.

Zadie Smith has a way of writing (and narrating) that makes you pause and think. She makes you consider the world as it is, the people who are in it, and your own place within.
This small collection of essays, touching of various going-ons in the year 2020 is no different.
I absolutely adored the place that my mind went when listening to Smith's essays. I also have the greatest desire to get a physical copy so I can annotate and entwine my own thoughts with her musings.
Thank you to Libro.FM for providing me a copy of the audio book. This does not impact my opinions, whatsoever.
