Zadie Smith on THE FRAUD
"There's no higher version of historical fiction to me than that, the feeling of being transported."
Zadie Smith\u2019s The Fraud brings all the excitement of a Victorian novel with a cast of characters that will be familiar (Charles Dickens, anyone?) and a wild web of plots that combine the best of historical fiction with themes that still resonate. Smith joins us to talk about the different process she used while writing, the importance of knowing and understanding history, freedom, resistance and more with Miwa Messer, host of Poured Over.
