A review by fflur_jones
Intimations by Zadie Smith

5.0

I absolutely love Zadie Smith's writing and these essays are no exceptions. She just has a way with words that is so magical.
This really short collection of essays is a beautiful recap of the year so far - both intimate and universal, hopeful and sad, perfectly bittersweet.

My favourite essay was The American Exception, closely followed by Suffering like Mel Gibson. I also thought the postscript was stunning and very insightful.

100% would recommend - a fitting tribute to 2020 and a perfect way to end the year reflecting on what's happened.
