Dead and Alive
Smith gives a masterclass in the modern essay. In Dead and Alive, Zadie Smith once again confirms that she is among the most expert essayists of her generation . . . Even when she writs about death, disillusionment, or the absurdity of fame, “protect your consciousness,” she advises, and this book feels like an act of protection in itself – an argument for stillness, attention, and moral imagination in a distracted world. Smith has written a generous, fiercely intelligent collection that reminds us why essays matter. They keep us awake, alive, and, in Smith’s words, “just human enough to hope”

Ervaring
In zijn memoires ‘Ervaring’ schrijft Martin Amis met grote openhartigheid over zijn privéleven – dat even fascinerend is als zijn romans – en het schrijven. Hij gaat uitvoerig in op de relatie met zijn vader, de beroemde schrijver Kingsley Amis, en de crises in diens leven: alcoholisme, een reeks ongelukkige huwelijken, zijn laatste dagen. Maar de zoon spaart zichzelf ook niet. Ook Amis’ nichtje Lucy Partington speelt een grote rol in het boek. Zij verdween in 1973 en pas in 1994 bleek dat zij een van de slachtoffers was geweest van Engelands grootste seriemoordenaar. ‘Ervaring’ is een opmerkelijke autobiografie, een geestig en eerlijk zelfportret van een schrijver, een klassieker uit het rijke oeuvre van een groot Engels prozaïst. Daarnaast geeft het natuurlijk een beeld van de literaire wereld, met veel anekdotes en portretten van schrijversvrienden en idolen zoals Saul Bellow, Christopher Hitchens en Philip Larkin.
