• Do you remember when Intimation is published?
• Who is the author again?

We all have more spare time in this crisis (ok at least you don’t have to go back to the campus everyday right)

Many of us have tried something new in 2020, I suppose

Maybe you have developed a new hobby? Learned something new? Finally tried to read that book you’ve always wanted to read or learn a new language?

I think we all do that, as if we don’t keep ourselves occupied, we will start overthinking things and spiral into deep but not necessarily positive thoughts.

Maybe you’ll think about the social situation, about how the governments are dealing with the pandemic, maybe the vaccine, maybe the people who passed away, maybe how long will this last, maybe your plans that are ruined (immersion)....

We might all get anxious/depression, but “something to do” might be a possible solution

To do something, to make something, something that might not be necessarily grand and exciting, but rather trivial and small, can be the solace that you and I have been yearning for in all these boring times.

This is the one piece of Literature where we are directly living IN THE CONTEXT, we all have insight about what is going on and hence, our own interpretation

Zadie Smith personally notes that she wrote this book as a way “to do something”, to be productive
