THREE SHOCKING AND HONEST QUOTES FROM THREE POWERFUL AUTHORS

ZADIE SMITH This is one of my all-time favorite Zadie Smith quotes (from her essay collection “Feel Free,” 2018, the essay “Fences: A Brexit Diary. Think of Trumpers here in the USA.). What I love most about this quote is how real, raw, authentic, and intellectually honest it is. It brings to my mind the absurd contradiction of the far-left feeling that White America is privileged and racist, while tens of thousands of them, mostly in Trump counties (where many voted for Obama twice) are dying in droves from the opioid crisis. She doesn’t play identity politics. She’s one of the few remaining serious contemporary writers alive, in my opinion. She’s not an ideologue; she’s purely interested in truth and aesthetics and style. In other words, dare I say this is 2022: She’s an actual artist.
