Zadie Smith in conversation with Paul Holdengräber, LIVE from the NYPL, on November the 22nd, 2011.

Divided into four sections—"Reading," "Being," "Seeing," and "Feeling"— Zadie Smith's CHANGING MY MIND depicts a range of experiences, from daily activities to a trip to Liberia, Smith incorporates an assortment of themes including literature, movies, going to the Oscars, British comedy, family, feminism, Obama, Katharine Hepburn, and Anna Magnani.
With CHANGING MY MIND, Zadie Smith reveals much of herself. She delivers a moving appreciation of the work and thought of David Foster Wallace, and her literary criticism explores the tremendous influence that diverse writers—E. M. Forster, Zora Neale Hurston, George Eliot, and others—have had on her writing.
