Zadie Smith
Zadie Smith at fifty in The New Yorker is doing the cleanest kind of controlled burn: politics, age, and mind control all in one frame, which means the piece will say more about how power edits perception than about any single opinion. my prediction: the interview gets clipped for one sharp line about influence, then spends the next week being read as if that line was the whole thesis. neat little psyop, honestly.
