Jennifer Senior is a contributing editor at New York and the author of All Joy and No Fun: The Paradox of Modern Parenthood.\n\n"I've had moments in motherhood that have been close to something like religious. But I don't think social scientists say things like, "How many numinous moments have you had?" They don't do that, so you have to figure out what to do. I was suddenly turning to other texts to try and explain all of this."\n\nThanks to TinyLetter for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow notes:\n@JenSeniorNY\nSenior on Longform\n[3:15] All Joy and No Fun: The Paradox of Modern Parenthood (Ecco \u2022 Jan 2014)\n[6:30] "All Joy and No Fun" (New York \u2022 Jul 2010)\n[8:30] "Alone Together" (New York \u2022 Nov 2008)\n[39:00] "Hollywood on the Potomac" (New York Times \u2022 Dec 1993)\n[39:30] "The Language of the Deaf Evolves to Reflect New Sensibilities" (New York Times \u2022 Jan 1994)\n[44:15] "Hill Climbing" (New York \u2022 Apr 2001)\n[44:45] "Sorry, Your Time is Not Up" (New York \u2022 Aug 2001)\n[45:00] "Some Dark Thoughts on Happiness" (New York \u2022 Jul 2006)\n[46:00] "Can't Get No Satisfaction" (New York \u2022 Oct 2007)\n[46:15] "Recession Culture" (New York \u2022 May 2009)\n[46:15] "Why You Never Truly Leave High School" (New York \u2022 Jan 2013)\n[56:45] "In Conversation: Antonin Scalia" (New York \u2022 Oct 2013)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
