Zadie Smith: Live from the Royal Library

What to know

Look forward to an evening in the company of one of the most influential authors of our time when we livestream an interview with British author Zadie Smith directly from the stage at The Black Diamond. This year she is receiving the Hans Christian Andersen Literature Prize, and this is the occasion for the otherwise rare visit to Denmark. Zadie Smith writes sharply and humorously about multicultural environments where identity is shaped by race, class, and origin. Since her debut, White Teeth, in 2000, Zadie Smith has made a significant mark on the international literary scene. Practical information Free of charge Find tickets here on the page from August 6th. The interview with Zadie Smith will be livestreamed physically at Gentofte Main Library. - Date: 6 October 2026 - Time: 19:00–20:30 - Venue: Gentofte Hovedbibliotek - Address: Ahlmanns Alle 6, Hellerup, Denmark - Admission: Free
