75 – Kristi DeMeester and Misogynistic Little Paper Cuts
Manage episode 317894190 series 2977606
This week it’s time for good girls and bad girls to unite.
Our guest is Kristi DeMeester whose new novel, Such A Pretty Smile sinks its teeth deep into the raised hand of misogyny. It’s a tale of violence and viciousness and vivid nightmares – and a whole new apparatus to explore the evils that men do.
At this point I assume we’ve already weeded out the guys who roll their eyes at #metoo!?
That’s for the best cos this is a feminism-heavy week. We talk about how horror treats women, from monstering menstruation to imagining female puberty as a threshold into hell. Along the way we cover the awful concept of the ‘lesser’ dead, the question of whether pretty girl privilege is a thing, and whether men really think women are too delicate to write such awful things.
We also consider why dogs can be much scarier than wolves.
This book started my year off right. Ambiguous, though-provoking, and ANGRY. Kristi is not f*cking around here.
Enjoy!!
Such a Pretty Smile is released January 18th by St Martin’s Press.
