In conversation with Tamala Edwards, anchor, 6abc Action News morning edition

Acclaimed for her “ability to render the new world, in its vibrant multiculturalism, with a kind of dancing, daring joy” (Chicago Tribune), Zadie Smith is the author of the novels White Teeth, The Autograph Man, On Beauty, NW, and Swing Time. Her other books include the short story collection Grand Union; a novella titled The Embassy of Cambodia; and three collections of essays, Changing My Mind, Feel Free, and Intimations. A professor of fiction at New York University, she is a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books. Smith’s work has earned the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, the Orange Prize for Fiction, the Royal Society of Literature’s Ondaatje Prize, and two Booker Prize nominations. A kaleidoscopic historical novel, The Fraud delves into a real-life Victorian legal battle that involved race, class, and Charles Dickens.
