Episode 69: Rachel Aviv
Rachel Aviv is a staff writer at The New Yorker.\n\n"If I'm writing about the criminal justice system, I wish I were a lawyer. If I'm writing about psychiatry, I wish I were a psychiatrist. I have often filled out half my application to get a Ph.D in clinical psychology. That is one area where I am constantly on the verge of jumping the fence. But even when I wrote about religion, I thought I wanted to be a priest."\n\nThanks to TinyLetter and HostGator for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow notes:\n@RachelAviv\nrachelaviv.com\nAviv on Longform\nAviv's New Yorker archive\n[2:00] "Netherland" (The New Yorker \u2022 Dec 2012) [paywall]\n[14:15] "Hobson's Choice" (The Believer \u2022 Oct 2007)\n[16:00] Madness and Modernism: Insanity in the Light of Modern Art, Literature, and Thought (Louis A.
