Zadie Smith

Zadie Smith is not mentioned in any of the provided news articles. The articles focus on the cancellation of the Adelaide Writers' Week in Australia. The controversy arose after organizers disinvited Palestinian-Australian author Randa Abdel-Fattah, citing a lack of “cultural sensitivity” following a mass shooting targeting Jewish Australians. This decision sparked significant backlash, with nearly 200 other writers withdrawing from the festival in protest. The situation escalated, ultimately leading to the festival's cancellation due to concerns over free speech and accusations of racism. A separate article mentions a call for the release of jailed Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti, with over 200 cultural figures signing an open letter, but Zadie Smith is not among them.
