Rachel Aviv is a staff writer for\xa0The New Yorker. Her new book is\xa0Strangers to Ourselves: Unsettled Minds and the Stories That Make Us.\n\u201cI used to feel that if I knew everything, that was a good sign. And I've become more aware that if you know everything you want to argue, that's not such a good sign\u2026. Do I have a genuine question? Is there something I\u2019m trying to figure out? Then the story is worth telling. But if I don\u2019t really have a question or if my question is already answered, then maybe that should give you pause.\u201d\n\nShow notes:\n\n@rachelaviv\n\nAviv on Longform\n\nAviv on Longform Podcast\n\nAviv's\xa0New Yorker\xa0archive\n\n05:00\xa0Strangers to Ourselves: Unsettled Minds and the Stories That Make Us\xa0(Farrar, Straus and Giroux \u2022 2022)\n\n03:00\xa0"How An Ivy League School Turned Against A Student"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Mar 2022)\n\n11:00\xa0"Anorexia, The Impossible Subject"\xa0(Alice Gregory \u2022 New Yorker \u2022 Dec 2013)\n\n12:00\xa0"The Trauma of Facing Deportation"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Mar 2017)\n\n28:00\xa0The Warmth of Other Suns\xa0(Isabel Wilkerson \u2022 Vintage \u2022 2011)\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
