Zadie Smith in conversation with Cathy Park Hong

Zadie Smith is known for her emotionally rich stories, superb dialogue, and unique insights into contemporary culture. Smith wrote her widely acclaimed debut novel White Teeth during her final year at Cambridge before going on to cement her reputation as one of the most important voices of her generation with On Beauty, The Autograph Man, and NW. Her long-awaited forthcoming novel, The Fraud, is a kaleidoscopic work of historical fiction set against the legal trial (“Tichborne Trial”) that divided Victorian England. A dazzling novel about truth and fiction, Jamaica and Britain, fraudulence and authenticity, it asks a vital question: who deserves to tell their story, and who deserves to be believed?
Cathy Park Hong is the author of Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for autobiography and earned her recognition on TIME’s list of 100 Most Influential People of 2021. She is also the author of the poetry collections Engine Empire, Dance Dance Revolution, and Translating Mo’um.
Orchestra tickets ($49) include a copy of her forthcoming novel, The Fraud.
