Zadie Smith tickets

Zadie Smith is one of Britain’s best-loved novelists. Her body of work includes three essay collections, a short-story collection, and six acclaimed novels, including White Teeth and On Beauty (which was short-listed for the Man Booker Prize and won the 2006 Orange Prize for fiction).

Smith’s new novel, The Fraud is all based on historical figures – including novelists, alleged fraudsters, and freed slaves – who lived in Smith’s own London neighbourhood of Kilburn. But the novel is as international as it is local and addresses issues of politics and identity that make The Fraud feel as much about today as about the past.
