Sex and Vanity Part 1: Capri

In this episode, Sophia and Élaina discuss the breath of fresh Amalfi Coast air that is Kevin Kwan’s latest book “Sex and Vanity”. Between revelling in Kwan’s playful writing style and the political value of having an Asian male love interest, they explore many facets of one of the two beautiful locales in this book: Capri.

Please note that this is a spoiler-FULL podcast that discusses the plot and themes of the books we cover, so if you don’t want to be spoiled, go read “Sex and Vanity” and come back to hear our commentary.

CN: Discussions of racism, colonialism, and oral sex.
