In this episode, we discuss “Gender Studies” by Curtis Sittenfeld. How can a stereotype become a nuanced and unexpectedly deep character? How can a character who doesn’t understand their own desires affect or drive a story? Why do we write in the present tense?
We also mention (and spoil) “Cat Person” by Kristen Roupenian.
