Today&#8217;s classic episode from the archives with Zadie Smith was recorded in 2019 at the studios of KBOO community radio to discuss her story collection Grand Union. The conversation ranges wildly—from the politics of representation, of being &#8220;free to imagine,&#8221; to the freedoms we&#8217;ve surrendered to surveillance capitalism. It ranges widely because her collection is, in the words of the San Francisco Chronicle an &#8220;unusual creature&#8230;Between the covers of one book, readers will find such disparate forms as allegory, parable, speculative thriller and satire, as well as shorter incarnations of Smith’s characteristic social comedy . . . Smith’s voracious intellect is on full display.”
