Just finding Zadie, She is absolutely bewitching and speaks beautifully. She so easily pulls you in and I haven't even had the pleasure of reading her material, which I plan on changing soon. Thank you Louisiana Channel, you continue to delight my mind, eyes, and ears!
Swing Time is a favourite book of mine ashamed to say it’s my 1st Zadie. I’m a Maori NZ’er who grew up in Sydney Australia & Zadie writes the cadences of her characters voices brilliantly. As a woman of similar age with writer ambitions Zadie is very inspiring to me. Her ability to entertain while simultaneously providing searing social commentary is masterful. I felt a special bond with this book in particular because of its partial setting in areas of North London where I spent a bit of time roaming in 2016. I really enjoyed this interview because - & I’m still kicking myself - I missed her recent talk at the Sydney Opera House ☹️ I’m looking forward to the next work 💜
I completely understand the imagining of a grander background that she talks about around 30:00. When I was entering my early teens, my father, who is a British immigrant, became obsessed with uncovering our family tree and our heritage and found that we've mostly been what is essentially "peasants" for over 1,000 years. When your ancestors have been poor and have no real religious or cultural tradition and then you are also even isolated from them as an immigrant, it is hard not to sometimes wish for "something else", even if it's entirely sentimental. I think it's a sentiment found in a lot of the kind of "forgotten" working-class in many cultures; there is no real record there, so one is created.
That's some deep shit...No really,that's some deep shit....I know that you easily could go nuts chasing that down...Sisyphus with ankle weights crawling out of steaming big city people shit.
People still like to read about a nicely described house or a hamlet near a highway or a railway track in spite of Internet images so widely available. a writer sould save words and patience from her interviews.
Late to this, but it seems like the host is explaining Smith's book to her at times? I get it's conversation and introducing ideas the crowd may not know about, but I can't help but feel it could be introduced in a way that doesn't seem like she's explaining the concepts that Smith wrote herself to her?
Yep, no awkward silence a-la Anglosaxon cultures (across the board) when you are surrounded by Italians, that's what we do bitches 😁 And not only when we are in Italy - I lived in London for a while and I've been based in Los Angeles for several years now. It's always like that, for the better or worse!
The problem - should say, my challenge is why she dims her intelligence in her books. She interviews at a far more sophisticated level than she writes.
Books are not being written very much lately. Nowadays many writers have become corporate employees as the communist manifesto explains would eventually happen and so as a result many writers produce content for the corporate publishers to perform merchantism with.
You are missing the larger point. That does happen, with or without government/societal intervention. It was not about being optimal or even good, it just is. One would think that that should be implicit.
To make EVERYTHING a struggle for yourself must be a chore. Even to speak about the "battles" she believes are being fought in modernity are nothing but useless virtues, inertia and timidity.
From ZS's Wikipedia: "Tell the truth through whichever veil comes to hand - but tell it. Resign yourself to the lifelong sadness that comes from never being satisfied."
are you listening to the nature of the shit that goes through her mind at any given time? being that critically introspective and curious is a painfully enlightening endeavor.

Me too! Literally forever.
i love the way she construct thoughts with words. her words carried the thoughts well;not heavy not too light but provocative and arresting.
Exactly !

I just admire how Zadie answer questions so calmly clever
She is sugar c0ating this rap!
She is just splendid to listen to.
One of the most entertaining and enlightening 40 minutes I have ever spent on the internet.

You should write her w a specific well thought out question?

Its a very intense conversation about being alive in different conditions and from different perspectives of knowledge
5:13-5:17 Do others have to lose so that we can win? Is this the mindset that we've been living in?
That's some deep shit...No really,that's some deep shit....I know that you easily could go nuts chasing that down...Sisyphus with ankle weights crawling out of steaming big city people shit.
I was wondering how I had missed this talk before and now I see it was just posted! Cool discussion - she's a great interview
I see zadie, I click
pretty sure the 'other persons book' is conversations with friends by sally rooney (at roughly 38 mins)
good catch!
The interviewer's outfit is AMAZING
she is stunning.

Beautiful how Zadie doesn’t see new forms of tech/expression as an opportunity and not a threat.. shows the progressive nature of a artist mind
I liked the part about improving on nature.
gotta love crouching flip flop man
Zadie i s fantastic . Regards compmaturism
13:28 whoa...

can anyone else see how her eyes are unnervingly similar to Deliciously Ella's eyes????
Although I would argue that dying on the streets isn't particularly natural. In a forest or on the plains maybe...

is it useless?
ZS looks in pain.

Sounds like she has a cold.

never any gratitude...
For what....??
She touches her nose a lot. Disgusting 🥺
Hope that’s the worst thing you’ve ever seen 🙄
