Intimations: Six Essays - Zadie Smith
Books Synopsis :
There will be many books written about the year
2020: historical, analytic, political and
comprehensive accounts. This is not any of those.
What I've tried to do is organize some of the feelings
and thoughts that events, so far, have provoked in
me, in those scraps of time the year itself has
allowed. These are, above all, personal essays:
small by definition, short by necessity.Early on in the
crisis, I picked up Marcus Aurelius and for the first
time in my life read his Meditations not as an
academic exercise, nor in pursuit of pleasure, but
with the same attitude I bring to the instructions for a
flat-pack table - I was in need of practical
assistance. I am no more a Stoic now than I was
when I opened that ancient book, but I did come out
with two invaluable intimations. Talking to yourself
can be useful. And writing means being
overheard.'Crafted with the sharp intelligence, wit
and style that have won Zadie Smith millions of
fans, and suffused with a profound intimacy and
tenderness in response to these unprecedented
times, Intimations is a vital work of art, a gesture of
connection and an act of love - an essential book in
extraordinary times.Running time: 1 hour 53
Minutes.
