Description

Zadie Smith’s fiction reimagines subjectivity, relationality, and the conditions of contemporary life. This book offers a timely reassessment of her work, addressing identity, urban experience, and the category of the human. Moving beyond postcolonial and multiculturalist readings, it brings psychoanalytic, historical, symptomatic, and cultural materialist perspectives to bear across her novels, stories, essays, and plays. The collection explores how Smith’s characters, shaped by diverse backgrounds and settings, challenge fixed ideas of Britishness and personhood. It argues that her writing opens up a new ontological space―defined by fluid identities, shifting subjectivities, and evolving forms of relationality. By reconsidering both the human and the spatial in Smith’s work, the book makes a valuable contribution to contemporary literary criticism and to current thinking on narrative, identity, and urban life. -- .
