Zadie Smith is known for her essays and novels about contemporary life and art. But her new book, The Fraud, is a historical novel, set in Victorian England.

Smith spoke with Terry Gross about the novel, aging, history, and how writing is an exercise in control rather than creativity.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
