Jess Zimmerman is editor-in-chief of\xa0Electric Literature. Her new book is\xa0Women and Other Monsters.\u201cMy goals are to be exactly as vulnerable as I feel is necessary. And not that\u2019s necessary to me\u2014that's necessary to the observer, to the reader. If [my story] is out there, it's out there because in order to make the larger point that I wanted to make \u2026 I had to give this level of access. It does kind of feel more strategic than cathartic.\u201d\n\nThanks to\xa0Mailchimp\xa0for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow notes:\n@j_zimms\njesszimmerman.com\nZimmerman's\xa0Electric Literature\xa0archive\n01:00\xa0Women and Other Monsters\xa0(Beacon Press \u2022 2021)\n03:00\xa0"Hunger Makes Me"\xa0(Hazlitt \u2022 Jul 2016)\n04:00\xa0Charybdis\xa0(theoi.com)\n05:00\xa0Mary Roach's website\n08:00\xa0The Furies\xa0(theoi.com)\n11:00\xa0Lindy West's website\n12:00\xa0"We Can\u2019t Believe Survivors\u2019 Stories If We Never Hear Them"\xa0(Rachel Zarrow \u2022 Electric Literature \u2022 Mar 2021)\n16:00\xa0"Why Are Portholes Being Used on Cows?"\xa0(BBC News \u2022 Jun 2019)\n22:00\xa0Longform Podcast #193: Robin Marantz Henig\n24:00\xa0"The Biggest Moments in xoJane History"\xa0(Eve Peyser \u2022 Jezebel \u2022 Jan 2017)\n31:00\xa0I Overcame My Autism and All I Got Was This Lousy Anxiety Disorder\xa0(Sarah Kurchak \u2022 Douglas & McIntyre \u2022 2020)\n31:00\xa0Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex\xa0(Angela Chen \u2022 Beacon Press \u2022 2020)\n32:00\xa0"\u2019Where\u2019s My Cut?\u2019: Un Unpaid Emotional Labor"\xa0(The Toast \u2022 Jul 2015)\n33:00\xa0"\u2019Where\u2019s My Cut?\u2019: Un Unpaid Emotional Labor" MetaFilter thread\n37:00\xa0Catapult\n37:00\xa0Hazlitt\n37:00\xa0Electric Literature\n38:00\xa0"What We Learned From Meghan and Harry\u2019s Interview"\xa0(Sarah Lyall and Tariro Mzezewa \u2022 New York Times \u2022 Mar 2021)\n39:00\xa0"Please Just Let Women Be Villiains"\xa0(Elyse Martin \u2022 Electric Literature \u2022 Feb 2021)\n39:00\xa0Circe\xa0(Madeline Miller \u2022 Little, Brown and Company \u2022 2018)\n41:00\xa0"How to Arrange a Poetry Collection Using Mix Tape Rules"\xa0(Rachelle Toarmino \u2022 Electric Literature \u2022 Mar 2021)\n41:00\xa0"What If We Cultivated Our Ugliness? or: The Monstrous Beauty of Medusa"\xa0(Catapult \u2022 May 2017)\n43:00\xa0Zimmerman's newsletter\xa0Dead Channel\n43:00\xa0"A Midlife Crisis, By Any Other Name"\xa0(Hazlitt \u2022 Jul 2015)\n46:00\xa0Lamia\xa0(theoi.com)\n55:00\xa0"I Always Thought of Myself as a Person Who Pays Attention"\xa0(Sarah Miller \u2022 Medium \u2022 Mar 2021)\n\n\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
