- Our guest is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed authors of her generation. More than 20 years after bursting onto the literary scene with her debut novel "White Teeth", Zadie Smith's sixth book "The Fraud" is out in French - based on real events in Victorian England. The British author speaks to Eve Jackson about her fascination with the Victorians, her experience of writing head-on about slavery for the first time and why she has always been interested in the sex life of the English.

gotta love her no bullcrap attitude
Thank you for highlighting a writer I have not yet read. Soon, though!
Like myself a Jamaican/British production; like the world view; genius sees life in a different perspective.
Saw the lady in Boston MA. She's magnificent. Lots of good wishes to Zadie!
A W G Sebald cap. 🥰That's a hoot.
Hello FRANCE 24 English!
White middle class and up looooove her.
Yes-reading her work helps them to allay the guilt they’ve acquired from their K-12 school curriculums.
Where can we buy those Sebald hats?
Problematic since her stance on Palestine. And did she refer to her children as octoroons? Hard pass
Paris fashion vs Olympic fashion
Her take on the pro-Palestinian demonstrations is atrocious.
Yes-this 100%. She is the fraud-pretends to be a symbol for multi-culturalism but has a very limited outlook on things herself.
no to the cap. she's from NW London, right near me.
