Reviews
"Written between 2016 and 2025, these often compelling essays are divided into five sections: Eyeballing, Considering, Reconsidering, Mourning, and Confessing. That means pieces on visual artists like Kara Walker and films like Tár , a memorial for Wolf Hall author Hilary Mantel, and a new essay about technology that is one of the book's high points . . . Smith leaves room for disagreement and still maintains her high-minded humanistic ideas." -- Vulture "Smith is unsatisfied with reactive stances, whether that be in regard to the problem of consciousness or current events, and she demands that everything be broken down, examined and then reassembled. Thanks to her writing's wry humor and compassion, the breaking down of positions goes down much better than you would assume it might, and when the worldview she has tackled has been put back together, you find yourself changed. The basic fact of your stance might not be any different, but your understanding of it most certainly will be--as well as your understanding of yourself and others. This is Smith's most consequential publication in years . . . In Dead and Alive , Smith returns to essay-writing with a hammer." -- BookPage "Novelist and critic Smith brings an incisive eye and keen wit to art, music, fiction, politics, and more in this wide-ranging essay collection . . . Smith delivers original insights couched in sly, artful prose . . . Readers will be rewarded by this unforgettable collection." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Smith is a consummate and perpetual essayist. Her fourth collection contains 30 penetrating, nimble, witty, and affecting pieces, most from the past half-dozen years . . . A treasury of candid, thoughtful, caring, and exhilarating inquires." -- Booklist, "Novelist and critic Smith brings an incisive eye and keen wit to art, music, fiction, politics, and more in this wide-ranging essay collection . . . Smith delivers original insights couched in sly, artful prose . . . Readers will be rewarded by this unforgettable collection." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Smith is a consummate and perpetual essayist.

Synopsis
A profound and unparalleled literary voice, Zadie Smith returns with a resounding collection of essays In this eagerly awaited new collection, Zadie Smith brings her unique skills as an essayist to bear on a range of subjects that have captured her attention in recent years. She takes an exhilaratingly close look at artists Toyin Ojih Odutola, Kara Walker and Celia Paul. She invites us along to the movies, to see and to think about Tár, and to New York to reflect on the spontaneous moments that connect us. She takes us on a walk down Kilburn High Road in her beloved North-West London and welcomes us to mourn with her the passing of writers Joan Didion, Martin Amis, Hilary Mantel, Philip Roth and Toni Morrison. She considers changes of government on both sides of the Atlantic - and the meaning of "the commons" in all our lives. Throughout this thrilling collection, Zadie Smith shows us once again her unrivalled ability to think through critically and humanely some of the most urgent preoccupations and tendencies of our troubled times.
