Mr London Street (Free subscription) | yesterday
1. Dimly coming round with a stinking case of the man flu, I lie face down on the mattress. I can just about make out a clinking sound coming from down the corridor. Kelly enters the bedroom carrying a pair of steaming mugs and sets one down on my bedside table. I am really in the mood for coffee, but Kelly hates coffee. Can't abide the smell of it. I, on the other hand, can barely smell anything at...

Zadie Smith's passion for writing and film shines through in this sparkling collection of criticism, says an admiring Peter Conrad For Zadie Smith, criticism is a bodily pleasure, not an abstracted mental operation.

'Do You Write Under Your Own Name?' (Free subscription) | 11/10/2009
Much as I like crime novels that explore character and matters of social significance, one of my guilty pleasures continues to be those detective stories which are, in essence, games between the writer and the reader – to see if the reader can pick up the clues to solve the mystery in good time before the truth is revealed. The ‘game’ aspects of the detective story were highlighted...
