Despite it's small size, Zadie Smith packs a plethora of timely observations into this collection. The wide range of topics covered includes self expression, isolation, competitive suffering, contempt, Smith's local acquaintances, classism, family dynamics, and systemic racism. Like many great essayists, Smith never moralizes on the pages of Intimations. She raises many questions and then leaves them to be mulled over by the reader. After reading Intimations, I know that I will be thinking about the questions Smith posed for a long while.
