'Fail Better' by Zadie Smith — Episode 2: Part 2

Just in this afternoon from Irish filmmaker and writer Donal Foreman, the news that Part 2 of Ms. Smith's much-acclaimed January 13/20, 2007, Guardian essay entitled "Fail Better" is available online here.

You may recall that Part 1, which I linked to in Episode 1 on February 21, 2007, was online at the Guardian website at the time, for reading and/or printing out — that's gone now.

But someone's put it up here.

Part 2 never made it to the Guardian's site due to copyright issues or some such nonsense.

My advice — and the reason I put it up here now, bumping a previously-scheduled post instead of waiting until tomorrow — is that it could disappear in a yoctosecond just like Part 1 did from the Guardian website.
