This day school will explore the work of contemporary novelist and literary critic Zadie Smith. Born in London in 1975, Zadie Smith studied English at Cambridge before going on to publish her first novel, White Teeth, in 2000, to immediate critical acclaim. Since then, she has produced a series of well-received novels and exerts a notable influence on current debates about the novel and the place of literature and literary criticism in contemporary culture. The day school will focus on her two most recent novels Swing Time (2016) and NW (2012), their exploration of identity and their London settings.
