Intimations is a 2020 collection of essays by writer Zadie Smith. Smith began writing the book around the time the COVID-19 pandemic began in the United States, and completed it soon after the murder of George Floyd. [1]

The essays discuss topics including creative writing, the pandemic, and the murder of George Floyd. [2]

Reception

Constance Grady, writing for Vox , referred to Smith's essays about current events as occasionally "facile" and that the collection was best when addressing the nature and utility of writing. [3]
