Decoded: New Essays on Zadie Smith examines the middle period of
Zadie Smith's illustrious career as a dynamic, experimental
novelist of contemporary Black British writing. The five new essays
in Decoded, written by innovative scholars in the fields of British
literature and African Diasporic studies, bring together the most
original and current analysis of Smith's novels and literary
criticism since the release of Smith's NW (2012). Decoded includes
discussions of NW, Swing Time, The Embassy of Cambodia, Grand
Union, Changing My Mind, Feel Free, and Intimations. The essays
delve into Smith's philosophy about the role and responsibility of
the artist, her ardent defense of the function of the novel in the
digital age, and the connection between writers and readers. Also
illuminated is Smith's growth as a writer, her reconceptualization
of racial identity, and shifting literary techniques from
hysterical realism to social realism. Finally, the book discusses
Smith's role as a public intellectua, and her evolution from an
optimistic champion of multiculturalism to a subdued, austere
realist who has broadened her social critique from the local to the
global arena.
