Sobre este título
Split into five sections - Reading, Being, Seeing, Feeling, and Remembering - Changing My Mind finds Zadie Smith casting an acute eye over material both personal and cultural. This engaging collection of essays, some published here for the first time, reveals Smith as a passionate and precise essayist, equally at home in the world of great books and bad movies, family and philosophy, British comedians, and Italian divas. Whether writing on Katherine Hepburn, Kafka, Anna Magnani, or Zora Neale Hurston, she brings deft care to the art of criticism with a style both sympathetic and insightful. Changing My Mind is journalism at its most expansive, intelligent, and funny - a gift to readers and writers both.
©2009 Zadie Smith (P)2009 PenguinResumo da Crítica
“Smith writes with a beguiling mix of assurance and solemnity, borrowing her vocabulary from many intellectual and cultural sources... Smith’s native intelligence, however, seems so formidable that you can’t help hoping she’ll change her mind yet again.” (The New York Times Book Review)
"Smith brings her novelist’s gifts - an eye for detail, a languid turn of phrase - to the essay form.” (The Boston Globe)
"[These essays] reflect a lively, unselfconscious, rigorous, erudite, and earnestly open mind that's busy refining its view of life, literature, and a great deal in between." (Los Angeles Times)
