Authors Erica Jong and Susan Choi joins co-hosts Eric Newman, Medaya Ocher, and Kate Wolf in our third and final installment from the 2019 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on USC Campus. First, Erica Jong talks about her new collection of poems, \u201cThe World Began with Yes,\u201d as well how she sees the present moment from the long view of her engagement with feminist and other political causes. Then, exploring the trials and tribulations of life in high school, Susan Choi\u2019s talks about the ethics of storytelling and how her novel \u201cTrust Exercise\u201d emerges from questions about how we work through our ideas about power, identity and values in the turbulent years of high school and, much later, after we've become adults.
