"When a human being becomes a set of data on a website like FaceBook, he or she is reduced. Everything shrinks. Individual character. Friendships. Language. Sensibility. In a way it's a transcendent experience; we lose our bodies, our messy feelings, our desires, our fears."
#ZadieSmith, quoted in Doppelganger by #NaomiKlein, 2023

Smith is a master in describing atmospheres, vibes, settings, and reading this felt like I was walking (and seeing, smelling, enjoying, enduring, feeling) London.
It's a pity the characters often felt like stereotypes with not very interesting stories.NW, Zadie Smith

🎩 Zadie Smith pens a riveting piece about how not to write like Dickens while simultaneously name-dropping him like he's the last remaining crumb of Victorian toast. 🍞 The article is a #masterclass in saying "no Dickens" while being as #Dickensian as humanly possible—Bravo, truly. 👏

Why the #election matters.A beautifully optimistic piece by #ZadieSmith.
"They really did take over the ship of state, shoot down the albatross and then sail out upon wild and unregulated seas, during which harrowing journey we all got a horrifying glimpse of the prospect of “Singapore-on-Thames”. But nobody on this island wants to go any further in that direction. No sir. Not one of us."

Malgré de nombreuses références à la culture anglo-américaine qui obligeraient à se documenter pour bien comprendre, ces petits textes rappellent que la créativité naît du respect de la moindre émotion, du moindre sentiment, de la plus petite idée. C'est là que démarre la pelote ! Comme une vraie présence au monde...
