Myriam Gurba

Myriam Gurba invites us to give a critical eye to those who lurk in the darkness and the villains that walk untouchable in broad daylight with her recent essay collection, CREEP: ACCUSATIONS AND CONFESSIONS. This poignant look at historical figures thrown in the media spotlight with their heinous crimes while their victims are left forgotten in the shadows. Gurba asks readers to take a step back, and search for the things left unsaid about the women whose lives were erased from the narrative.

We sit down with Gurba to talk about the multitudes of the word "creep" and how we all have the potential of finding ourselves in moments of participating in creep-like behavior. She also shares her desire to include Santa Maria, California within the literary canon and her undying love for the The Real Housewives franchise.
