197 – Elle Nash & Insects in the Ozarks
Manage episode 423035463 series 2977606
Elle Nash’s Deliver Me ruined my week. In the best possible way.
This book, about a woman so desperate for a child that she does truly terrible, no-good things, contains some of the bleakest, most brutal scenes I’ve read in a while. And it’s not even really being treated as a horror novel.
Elle and I talk about that.
We also talk about the hot-button topics of the novel, the patriarchy, the toxic Christianity, the… insect erotica! But we also discuss her wandering heart and the empathy and provocation that drives her work.
It’s a lovely, laid back conversation about a challenging book.
Enjoy
Other books mentioned:
Geek Love (1989), by Katherine Dunn
Violent Faculties (2024), by Charlene Elsby
Frisk (1991), by Dennis Cooper
