Livestream from International Author Scene: Zadie Smith

What to know

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. The interview will be streamed live to Horsens Library. 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. In sharp but always humorous language, Smith takes his reader into multicultural environments - with characters from different social, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. It is precisely the human being as shaped by his roots that is central to Smith's literature. - Date: 6 October 2026 - Time: 19:00–20:30 - Venue: Horsens Bibliotek - Address: Tobaksgården 12, Horsens, Denmark - Admission: Free
