Live streaming from The Black Diamond - Zadie Smith

What to know

Experience live streaming from the Queen's Hall in The Black Diamond with author star Zadie Smith Look forward to an evening in the company of one of the most incisive and influential writers of our time, when British author Zadie Smith takes the stage at The Black Diamond. Here she is interviewed about her award-winning writing. The interview will be streamed live at Dalum Library. The occasion is that she is receiving the 2026 Hans Christian Andersen Literature Prize, and therefore she is on one of her rare visits to Denmark. Zadie Smith writes sharply and humorously about multicultural environments where identity is shaped by race, class and origin. She connects personal experiences to broad social criticism - from the British class system to how we have left so much of our identity and behavior to social media and the powerful tech giants behind it. Since her debut with 'White Teeth' in 2000, Zadie Smith has made a significant mark on the international literary scene. - Date: 6 October 2026 - Time: 19:00–20:30 - Venue: Dalum Bibliotek - Address: Dalumvej 95B, Odense SV, Denmark - Admission: Free
