Evan Ratliff, a co-host of the Longform Podcast, discusses\xa0"The Oilman's Daughter,"\xa0his new story in\xa0The Atavist.\n\n"This woman was given the opportunity to take on a new identity. And it was a mistake. She never should've done it. If there was a way for her to go back and say, 'No, I don't want to know this. I want to be who I am,' then I think she should've taken that. \u2026 I'm fascinated with people who want to radically shift their identity. It almost never works out well."\n\nShow notes:\n"The Oilman's Daughter" (The Atavist \u2022 June 2013)\n"Writer Evan Ratliff Tried to Vanish: Here\u2019s What Happened" (Wired \u2022 Nov 2009)\n"The Zombie Hunters" (New Yorker \u2022 Oct 2005)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
