Smith casts her acute eye over material both personal and cultural, with wonderfully engaging essays--some published here for the first time--on diverse topics including literature, movies, going to the Oscars, British comedy, family, feminism, Obama, Katharine Hepburn, and Anna Magnani.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her investigations Smith also reveals much of herself. Her literary criticism shares the wealth of her experiences as a reader and exposes the tremendous influence diverse writers--E. M. Forster, Zora Neale Hurston, George Eliot, and others--have had on her writing life and her self-understanding. Smith also speaks directly to writers as a craftsman, offering precious practical lessons on process. Here and throughout, readers will learn of the wide-ranging experiences--in novels, travel, philosophy, politics, and beyond--that have nourished Smith's rich life of the mind. Her probing analysis offers tremendous food for thought, encouraging readers to attend to the slippery questions of identity, art, love, and vocation that so often go neglected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChanging My Mind\u003c\/em\u003e announces Zadie Smith as one of our most important contemporary essayists, a writer with the rare ability to turn the world on its side with both fact and fiction. \u003cem\u003eChanging My Mind\u003c\/em\u003e is a gift to readers, writers, and all who want to look at life more expansively. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Trudeau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0062064878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062064875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.50d","brand":"Margaret Trudeau","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075938644223,"sku":"9780062064875","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ec168fd-d790-414e-957f-fde83cce9c60.jpg?v=1685462296","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/changing-my-mind-margaret-trudeau-9780062064875","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
