Book Club Meets: Desire, hormones, and tampons, with Miranda July
Over deze aflevering
<p>Would you rip up your current life and reinvent yourself if you had the chance? Do you have desires you’d want to explore? Maybe there are hidden parts of yourself you’ve never had the chance to get to know? Which societal rules would you want to ignore?</p><p> </p><p>Author Miranda July asks all these questions in October’s Happy Place Book Club novel: All Fours. She picks apart how we can fall into the monotony of every day routine instead of acknowledging the wild emotions and longings inside us.</p><p> </p><p>In this chat, Fearne and Miranda talk about fluctuating hormones, pressures of motherhood, sexual fantasies (some of which may or may not involve tampons), and menopause as an incredibly exciting and sacred transitional period.</p><p> </p><p>Fearne asks Miranda to help her be even more painfully unfiltered in her own writing, while Miranda exclusively reveals how she originally intended the novel to end. Plus, what about this book made Fearne say it was the ‘one of the hottest, sexiest things’ she’d ever read...?</p><br><p>Thank you to Canongate Books for the use of All Fours audiobook, read by Miranda July.</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/26738b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: Gillian Anderson</a></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/23da85" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: Patric Gagne</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/266632" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: Holly Gramazio</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/25977a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: Sofie Hagen</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
