She seems loving and passionate and he seems empathetic and giving. They're kind of couple goals when writer couples rarely are xD

so inspiring seeing two brilliant human artist living sharing and working together AND raising kids.....#they are lucky to have found each other fate and havent wasted it...

"Language is it's own thing. It operates independent from you, it has it's own life."

When he said that's it...I was like 'nooooooo', I need this!

To organizers of the meeting, I think Nick's poems and poetry in general would benefit more from being read in slightly more suitable surroundings, with less distractions, something like by a fireplace, or around a kitchen table in a quiet of dawn, than on a busy street:) But I'm grateful for being introduced to them all the same and will read them, in the quiet of dawn.

Interviewer talks too much

It’s funny, I wanted him to read during the peak of the environmental noise, as the ambulances reached their dynamic height, I wanted him to read amongst those sounds of a world that doesn’t stop for poetry, for him to meet the challenge of the urban disjecta and say, what do these poems sound like now.

I can't believe Zadie stole his title and afterwards asked him to give it up! I guess I feel now something similar to what she felt when she had to reconciliate her admiration for Wolf with some less respect worthy facts ;) So, inspired by their very title, I feel free to express myself: Zadie! What a behaviour! :)

Wonderful from start to finish. Who is the capable interviewer? And are we in New York?

@@andrewroberts8139 Well the storefront of the NYC one is totally different, there'd be no room for this kind of gathering, it'd be manic-- whereas this is definitely the iconic green storefront of the Paris store. Plus I think the interviewer mentioned Paris, them both being there on behest of NYU. Also this interviewer lives in Paris. But nonetheless a great interview, no? I wonder how Laird feels with this literary rockstar wife. Perhaps he does indeed feel free. Perhaps also frustrated.

definitely Paris, nearby the infamous Notre Dame...

Where do I find Shakespeare and Bookshop? Just next to the fire station.

The fucking interviewer loves the sound of his own voice!!

Zadie says that the cladding on Grenfell tower was put up for aesthetic reasons. I read they it was to keep the flats more insulated.

“Umm yeah it’s on... hi”, oh how awkward you can be, Zadie.

I wonder, what is a "black Englishwoman"?

I wondered what a "twat" was, then I had that question answered.
