The Hystericals: In Conversation with Vivek Shraya
Disclaimer: This episode contains discussions surrounding suicide, self-harm and sexual violence. Listener discretion is advised. Bestselling Canadian author Vivek Shraya is back with a new book fresh off the press! “The Hystericals” is a chilling novel for the post-Me Too era. The story is set in an isolationist state where one woman’s death sparks a movement that could liberate women or destroy them all. Host Jacob Shymanski speaks with Vivek about her inspiration behind the book’s themes of misogyny, women’s rights and allyship. This episode was produced by Andrika De Lanerolle.
