Plans Are Booked

This week we discuss an essay collection that asks really hard questions. What do you do when you learn an artist you adore has done something deplorable? What is your duty as a fan? Should you separate the work from the person? Can you? Claire Dederer's commentary is brilliant, compelling, and will stay with you long after you finish the book. We share personal stories about the monsters we've grappled with, talk about the insane double standards for men and women, and how this book feels like it was written for the exact time and political climate we're living in. In our catch up, Kaitlin shares about a superb meal, Molly visits a new bakery, and Steph prepares for demo week at her new flip house. We also chat about escaping into fantasy books during tough times and the constant struggle between savoring a book and binge reading it. In what we're reading this week, we cross three genres.
