How about spending your Tuesday evening with world-class literature and green dinner? Experience the British author Zadie Smith in a conversation about her writing when she is the main character at the International Authors' Stage in The Black Diamond on the occasion of her receiving the Hans Christian Andersen Literature Prize 2026. Before the author talk begins, we will be holding an evening edition of our popular literature salons. While you enjoy a delicious vegetarian sandwich, presenter Marie Hastrup Sørensen provides an insight into Smith's writing, so you are well prepared for the interview, which we broadcast live from Den Sorte Diamant. Since Zadie Smith debuted with the novel White Teeth in 2000, she has made her mark on the literary scene as one of the sharpest voices of her generation. Her writing has an impressive range and includes essays, short stories, drama, children's books and novels. One thing that runs through Smith's writing is her unparalleled ability to stretch across generations, cultures and classes. - Date: 6 October 2026 - Time: 18:00–20:30 - Venue: Horsens Bibliotek - Address: Tobaksgården 12, Horsens, Denmark - Admission: From DKK 50
