Usha Vance vs. Rama Duwaji: Who Will Save the Women?

Deskripsi

Little bit of a heterosexual smackdown taking place today!But first, some housekeeping:As a reminder: Caro’s debut novel, YESTERYEAR, is coming out this spring (April 7th, to be exact), and she would love to see you all at the evening launch event in NYC. One can reasonably assume there will be laughter, tears, a book signing, and Caro on a stage looking incredibly sweaty while she talks about all things America, womanhood, tradwives, writing sex scenes in fiction, etc. She’ll be joined on stage by the famed pod duo Claire Parker and Ashley Hamilton as moderators for the evening, which essentially means we have finagled this book launch into a pseudo Good Noticings/Diabolical Lies crossover event. Ur welcome.Also, we’d be so grateful if you humored us with a little anthropological insight by letting us know how you found the pod.
