What to know

Experience award-winning British author Zadie Smith as we livestream an exclusive interview from Den Sorte Diamant to Ballerup Library. The interview will be in English. Look forward to an evening with one of the sharpest and most influential authors of our time. Zadie Smith will take the stage at The Royal Library's Den Sorte Diamant in Copenhagen, and at Ballerup Library you can follow the interview live at the Caféscenen on the 1st floor. Zadie Smith writes sharply and humorously about multicultural environments where identity is shaped by race, class and origin. She connects personal experiences with broad social criticism - from the British class system to the way we have entrusted large parts of our identity and behavior to social media and the powerful tech giants behind them. Since her debut with "White Teeth" in 2000, Zadie Smith has made a significant mark on the international literary scene. - Date: 7 October 2026 - Time: 19:00–20:30 - Venue: Ballerup Bibliotek - Address: Banegårdspladsen 1, Ballerup, Denmark - Admission: Free
