Author Zadie Smith chooses Prince on BBC's Desert Island Discs

Hi,

was listening to BBC's Desert Island Discs - Zadie Smith the author was choosing her discs - she's taking Pop Life....

She said she thinks her obsession with P was one of the reasons why people thought she had bad music taste - it's the opposite Zadie - they just didn't get it!!

Others who have chosen Prince: Eric Clapton (Purple Rain), Nick Clegg (The Cross), Akram Khan (Sign O The Times), Lenny Henru (Kiss), Kristin Scott Thomas (Boys and Girls).

There is a reference to Prince in one of her books, I can't remember if it was The Autograph Man or White Teeth, there may have been references in both. I learnt everything I know about JWs from White Teeth and the Rainbow Children so I am very well informed when they come knocking. Wonder if Prince has read it. She should send him a copy, it is an excellent read.
