Smith had a very complex character, was often reactionary, didn’t suffer fools and was defiantly Northern English; according to Brix, he “had a chip on both shoulders. I remember him talking about fucking southern bastards a lot and not wanting to come to London. He hated London intensely. He’s quite contrarian as a person and as a writer, which is what gives him his edge.” Smith had a working class and anti-intellectual outlook, but a strong interest in literature. As writer Andrew Harrison observed, although he wished that a majority of his audience were miners and postmen, a great many were students or Guardian readers.
I always forget how important the empty days are, how important it may be sometimes not to expect to produce anything, even a few lines in a journal. The most valuable thing we can do for the psyche, occasionally, is to let it rest, wander, live in the changing light of a room, not try to be or do anything whatever.
