ZADIE SMITH in conversation with Kurt Andersen
In lieu of our recent book club reading, it may be interesting to hear the author speak and discuss her work!
LIVE from the NYPL
Zadie Smith's novels explore the territory shared by what are normally considered separate worlds: the personal and political, the academy and the "street," and the intersection of the increasingly multicultural societies of both England and America. She will discuss her work with novelist and commentator Kurt Andersen.
This event is co-sponsored by PEN American Center in association with PEN World Voices, The New York Festival of International Literature.

I'd like to go to this! I have actually never been inside the NYPL (!).
Very cool! There's a service charge for buying online, so let me see if we can just purchase them at NYPL itself. I hope you will have finished reading "On Beauty" by then ;-) (hee, hee!)
My bro and I are definitely coming -- we have our tix.
