Kate and Medaya are joined by feminist critic Jacqueline Rose to discuss her new book On Violence and On Violence Against Women. Jacqueline's addresses the prevalence and persistence of violence through an intersectional lens that engages feminism, history, psychoanalysis, politics, and literature. Jacqueline takes a stance that violence in our times thrives on a form of mental blindness. She elucidates the more brutal realms where violence is thriving, their relationship to the rise of politicians like Bolsonaro and Trump as well as broader society's complicity in these horrors.
Also, Larissa Pham, author of the collection Pop Song: Adventures in Art and Intimacy, returns to recommend Annie Ernaux's A Girl's Story (2016), which was released last year in translation.
