Intimations zadie6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Instead, it reads like a bunch of diary entries, and not the kind of deep, reflective diary entries I might find interesting. I thought this was going to be a book about the pandemic but it's not. I equally don't give a shit about hearing how you grab a macchiato when you have two minutes to spare. I don't give a shit about your neighbour's dog and I don't give a shit about how you and your masseuse chat about holidays. Unfortunately this book is the equivalent of small talk. I don't have energy to be around people a lot and so when I am, I want to use that energy to have deep and meaningful conversations. I hate parties where everyone has to stand around gibbering nonsense. I thought a book of essays about the pandemic would be something everyone can relate to, and I'd get a taste of Ms. When I saw Intimations, I decided it was time to remedy that. Zadie Smith's books have come across my radar many times but I'd never read one. Did I read the same book as everyone else? Because I totally don't get all the four and five star reviews I'm seeing. ![]()
