Unlocking desire through smut; plus, the gospel of bell hooks
View Date:2024-12-23 12:05:24
This week, we're asking: do the fantasies we read in romance novels say anything about what we want in our real-life relationships? Devoted readers share how the genre has impacted their love lives. Host Brittany Luse also sits down with writer Rebekah Weatherspoon to learn how she builds a world of desire.
Then, we talk to Dr. Gale E. Greenlee, teacher-scholar in residence at the bell hooks center in Berea Kentucky, about lasting impact of bell hooks' work, and how she changed the way we think about love.

*Correction - a previous version of this story misspelled "Weatherspoon" as "Witherspoon." We regret the error.
