Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
A far-ranging, invigorating and irrepressible collection of essays on literature, cinema, art - and everything in between - from the Man Booker Prize- and Women's Prize-Shortlisted author of Feel Free and Swing Time
How did George Eliot's love life affect her prose? Why did Kafka write at three in the morning? In what ways is Barack Obama like Eliza Doolittle? Can you be over-dressed for the Oscars? What is Italian Feminism? If Roland Barthes killed the Author, can Nabokov revive him? What does 'soulful' mean? Is Date Movie the worst film ever made?
A collection of essays that brims over with personality and warmth, Changing My Mind is journalism at its most expansive, intelligent and funny - a gift to listeners and writers both. Within its covers an essay is more than a column of opinions: it's a space in which to think freely.
Critic Reviews
"Alarmingly good." (Metro)
"Striding with open hearted zest and eloquence between fiction (from EM Forster to David Foster Wallace) and travel, movies and comedy, family and community in a self-portrait that charts the evolution of a formidable talent." (Independent)
"Supremely good. Smith writes with such infectious zeal and engaging accessibility that it makes you want to turn up at her house and demand tutoring." (Dazed)
