Zadie Smith presents Grand Union (BK)

  • MURMRR 17 Eastern Parkway Brooklyn, NY, 11238 United States (map)

Murmrr Lit is proud to welcome Zadie Smith for a reading and discussion of her new story collection, Grand Union.

Zadie Smith has established herself as one of the most iconic, critically-respected, and popular writers of her generation. In Grand Union, her first short story collection, she combines her power of observation and inimitable voice to mine the fraught and complex experience of life in the modern world. With ten extraordinary new stories complemented by a selection of her most lauded pieces for The New Yorker, The Paris Review, and Granta, Grand Union explores a wide range of subjects, from first loves to cultural despair, as well as the desire to be the subject of your own experience. In captivating prose, she contends with race, class, relationships, and gender roles in a world that feels increasingly divided.
