“My advice of ‘Live a life that’s in alignment with your value system’ doesn’t go over super-great because that requires knowing what your value system is.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a>Bookslut<\/em> founder Jessa Crispin<\/a> rejoins the show to talk about her new book, Why I Am Not A Feminist: A Feminist Manifesto<\/a>\"\" (Melville House), while I gripe over the fact that it’s the third book she’s published since we recorded in 2014. We also get into learning to stop reading reviews, the aftereffects of carrying her belongings on her back for 18 months, the black magic revival and her experience as a tarot card reader, her detachment from NYC publishing culture, her fascination for Catholicism and female saints, falling in love with opera, never quite getting over the core guilt of her Protestant upbringing, and why she won’t leave the US for good and won’t write about expat Paris, and more! Give it a listen!<\/a> And go buy Why I Am Not A Feminist: A Feminist Manifesto<\/a>\"\"!<\/p>\n

“I feel all three of my books deal with the same question: How do you be a woman in the world?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
