Feel Free Essays edition by Zadie Smith Literature Fiction eBooks

This is a Zadie at her best, I feel. As a speaker/thinker/writer on culture and language, she is gifted and able to think through events and experiences in a way that really gives the reader a fresh perspective. I tore through this in two days (though do NOT buy the Audible version as I purchased both just to support her. The audiobook sadly presents her work by a different reader who is dull and reads as though she's half asleep without the charm and nuance that Zadie has when you hear her speak during readings/lectures/presentations/interviews. The reader chosen just absolutely kills the work. Think some conservative man without inflection reading David Sedaris. This is just an opinion but if you can just read it and that way you have her voice in your head when you do). That said, the essay collection is truly phenomenal. Her ability to go high low and interweave culture and social perspectives is really a wonderful reading experience.

Feel Free Essays edition by Zadie Smith Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Great stories, beautifully written.
Great book. Terrific book! Love Ms. Smith’s thought provoking insights! And always with a wry sense of humor.
Beautiful language with the occasional perfect insight. Well worth the read and not difficult to digest. Looking forward to the next novel
An amazing collection of sharp, moving, and perceptive essays. An instant classic!
Zadie is a great essayist. You won't be disappointed. My family is reading these essays aloud in the evening.
The current cultural landscape is a wasteland littered with superheroes, fast cars, and enough visceral responses to elicit bar-fight-style brawls out in public.

It is refreshing then to read the essays in “Feel Free” as they feel like a cerebral rollercoaster, full of inverted perceptions on our current state of affairs as well as an in-depth look at things people take for granted.

Take for example her essay on Facebook titled “Generation Why.”

Smith compliments Zuckerberg for the achievement of developing one of the largest online communities, but she also points out some negative sides to Facebook. How some people use the social media platform in a solipsistic manner to confirm their own views of the world.

But the essays are not limited to commentary on our social interactions. One focuses on an interview with Jay-Z, and how Smith compares the rap superstar to “Paradise Lost” author John Milton. How both employ the power of boasting to further their artistic forms to reach the apex of their respective forms.

The one section which I could do without is her most lengthy set of essays in the collection, all under the header the Harper’s Columns. This is not to say these pieces are written poorly by any means. They are stylistically quite good, as is to be expected from Smith. No, they just feel out of place in the larger context of the collection.

While the other essays are concerned with social issues, cultural pieces, and experiences strolling through a garden, this small collection feels like a friend talking to you about a book you haven’t read or significant points in a movie you haven’t seen. There are no spoilers per se, just a bit of confusion if you haven’t read the books she is reviewing.

The essays are thoughtful and fun though. Readers will laugh from time-to-time, and they will also stop to ponder art, politics, and everything in between.
A brilliant book of essays by a gifted writer. When it arrived I was browsing through it and over and over again a few lines would catch my eye and I would end up reading a few pages. Finally decided to drop the other books I was reading and start on this immediately. She has some great insights to our world.
