Livestream: Zadie Smith on International Authors' Stage

What to know

British star author Zadie Smith is the main character at the International Authors' Scene in Den Sorte Diamant on October 6. You can watch live from Gladsaxe Main Library, where we will show the author meeting live on the big screen. Sit down with a cup of coffee at the library and experience an evening in the company of one of the most incisive and influential writers of our time, as Zadie Smith takes the stage in The Black Diamond. Here she is interviewed about her award-winning writing. The occasion is that she receives the Hans Christian Andersen Literature Prize 2026, and therefore she is on one of her rare visits to Denmark. We look forward to experiencing it all live - directly from the front row via livestream. Zadie Smith writes sharply and humorously about multicultural environments where identity is shaped by race, class and origin. Since her debut with 'White Teeth' in 2000, Zadie Smith has left a significant mark on the international literary scene. - Date: 6 October 2026 - Time: 19:00–20:30 - Venue: Gladsaxe Hovedbibliotek - Address: Søborg Hovedgade 220, Søborg, Denmark - Admission: Free
