Feel Free: Essays by Zadie Smith

Did not finish book. Stopped at 35%.

I loved the first chapters of this book, but it began falling short for me when there was a whole ton of pop culture references, that weren't explained and integral to the chapter. In most essay books, when people repeatedly mention something as a theme for a passage, they give the base amount of knowledge to properly convey the message, but this ended up falling flat and seeming as though it prioritized talking about a subjective pop culture experience rather than something like the defunding of libraries and racial biases of the UK that appears in the first chapters.
