Let's talk about the blood-soaked, prom queen of our dreams who — spoiler alert! — burns the whole ass gymnasium down cinematic masterpiece from 1976, Carrie.One of my favourite things about the origin story of this movie is that after Stephen King scoured the deepest, darkest, recesses of his mind to conjure up the most horrific scenario that he could —a teenage girl has her period for the first time in a public school shower, leading all of her classmates to laugh at her and pelt her with tampons! Horrors! This episode explores the film's portrayal of interconnected themes of religious trauma and abuse, shame, and the monstrous feminine.

A partire dalla tragedia accaduta all'ospedale Sandro Pertini lo scorso 8 gennaio, Sara Bruno fa una ricognizione di come oggi nella nostra società viene visto e gestito il parto, approfondendo il tema della violenza ostetrica.Si ringraziano tutte le persone che hanno condiviso la loro esperienza e messo a disposizione la loro testimonianza, si ringraziano l'Associazione Selene, il Professor Piergiorgio Donatelli e la preziosissima Gabriella Pacini che erroneamente nella puntata non è stata presentata ma la cui voce ha costituito l'impalcatura stessa dell'episodio che ascolterete.Gabriella Pacini è ostetrica e presidente dell'associazione Freedomfor Birth-RAG, vicepresidente dell'associazione Vita di Donna, presso la Casa Internazionale delle Donne di Roma. Impegnata dal 1997 in difesa della libertà di scelta e autodeterminazione delle donne nel parto, ha curato il racconto Il mestiere più antico del mondo di Gianlorenzo Pacini (Feltrinelli 2015). Sul tema del parto è anche autrice del cortometraggio La Prestazione (menzione speciale del Docscient Festival 2014).Il brano in apertura è tratto da Il mostruoso femminile di J.E.Sady Doyle edito da Tlon e il testo di riferimento per la preparazione della puntata è stato Madri Cattive di Caterina Botti, Il Saggiatore 2007. A tale proposito si specifica che le informazioni sulle pratiche del clistere e della rasatura pubica all'inizio del parto, sono relative al periodo di scrittura del testo ma oggi, fortunatamente, sarebbero da rivedere alla luce dell'abbandono graduale che questi usi hanno subìto.Uscirà un secondo episodio che avrà come focus la fase del post partum, mentre oggi stesso, domenica 14 maggio, potrete ascoltare una bonus track con la storia di Elisa e Flavio, paradigmatica dei problemi sollevati.Buona domenica

Oggi finalmente parliamo di un libro che avete richiesto tantissimo. Non vi neghiamo che fin'ora abbiamo aspettato a proporvelo proprio perché è effettivamente un libro molto conosciuto nonostante sia abbastanza recente e può benissimo, ad oggi, essere considerato un classico moderno del pensiero femminista contemporaneo.Parliamo di "Il mostruoso Femminile" che più che un saggio è una vera e propria enciclopedia dell'orrore. L'obiettivo di Sady Doyle è infatti subito chiaro: illustrare e indagare tutte le varie forme che il femminile ha assunto nell'immaginario horror collettivo, partendo dalle sue manifestazioni più pop fino ad arrivare a rintracciare le storie vere dietro quelle di fantasmi, fate, vampiri e streghe. Il femminile, in una società patriarcale concepita da, per e con gli uomini, è sempre dipinto e percepito come mostruoso.

In this episode we discuss Mary Wollstonecraft, one of the western world's first women's rights activists. We talk about how the world reacted to her, her writings, and Enlightenment era ideas. Then we discuss the culture of the 1700's and how Wollstonecraft's ideas impacted her daily life in this society. Lastly we reflect on how her words influenced others throughout time.

In 1992, the world was introduced to the scariest monster yet: a fully actualized sexual woman. Boy oh boy was the backlash swift. In this episode of The Stories We Tell, we look at Basic Instinct, the Film Noir sex thriller that set the debate over 3rd wave feminism on fire and nearly scorched the career of Sharon Stone for her portrayal of Catherine Tramell. The performance was so good in fact that people couldn't separate her from her character. Not unlike Jaws, her filmic incarnation gave the world justification to demonize her in the form of slut-shaming. But also, not unlike Jaws, Catherine Tramell isn't real. She's the sum of Nick Curan's fantasies and projections of a woman. Therein lies the rub in Film Noir. The only thing that matters, the only thing that's real, is the opinion of the most unreliable of sources: the male protagonist. Thus, the stories we tell ourselves about this hugely popular genre is that our anxieties, fears, tensions, and worst nightmares have a brith place: women. In Basic Instinct, our protagonist faces that fear quite literally head on, and we look at what that story says about us, about men, and about the very stories we tell ourselves about the order of the world. For this episode, I called on the help of TV comedy writer Doni Muransky. She took on the brave task of analyzing a lesser known scene in the film, and the conversation that ensued revealed how modern day incarnations of these tensions function. We also laugh a lot, which helps to keep from crying. You can find Doni on Twitter and IG @donatellasays.

Moni and Kat are eager to discuss all the ins and outs that the book title implies. In their excitement Moni almost forgot to challenge herself and Kat with a drinking game! She wanted to see if they could go the rest of the episode without cussing or they would have to take shots. You can guess how that went! The ladies manage to unpack societal gender roles, and what it means to be a “good woman”. Also it wouldn't be the Fake Ass Book Club without some racism! It's all here for you this week so relax and enjoy the show. Cheers!

Patricia Highsmith, author of novels like The Talented Mr. Ripley, Strangers on a Train, and The Price of Salt, was the daughter of artists, born in Fort Worth, Texas, and raised in New York City by her mother and stepfather, whose last name she adopted. She graduated from Barnard and had dreams of a writing career, which she pursued relentlessly. She also had a fondness for snails, and at one point, bred about 300 of them in her garden (and is rumored to have brought them to cocktail parties in her purse). So it is any surprise that today, we are talking about her giant snail story, The Quest for Blank Claveringi.” Recommended in this episode: Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers by Sady Doyle and V. E.

Epigraph On this episode we becomes best friends with Amy Stephenson, Events Director at Booksmith in San Francisco and co-creator/host of Shipwreck, a competitive literary erotic fan fiction live show. This episode is sponsored by Books & Whatnot, the newsletter dedicated to books, bookselling, and bookish folk.

Follow Books & Whatnot on Twitter at @booksandwhatnot. Introduction In Which We Discuss Sad Sociology Books and Amy’s Twitter Life Coach, and Furiously Take Notes On the Books We’re Recommending Each Other (but oh wait look, show notes!) We’re drinking Manhattans—Amy’s go-to, “I’m fancy on a Friday night” drink—and making jokes about robotripping. We’re Reading: Amy is reading Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell (and Kim & Emma are SO excited) and Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin. Kim is reading Necessary Trouble by Sarah Jaffe, The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis, and The Revenge of Analog by David Sax—which is her favorite book of 2016. Emma is reading My Favorite Thing Is Monsters by Emil Ferris (out from Fantagraphics Feb 14) and The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson.  Also mentioned: Shirley Jackson’s memoir(ish) essay collections Life Among the Savages and Raising Demons and the new biography on Jackson, Shirley Jackson: a Rather Haunted Life by Ruth Franklin. She recommends all the Shirley Jackson book. Because Shirley Jackson is a #bosswitch Emma’s favorite book of 2016 is Trainwreck by Sady Doyle. Amy’s is Evicted by Matthew Desmond (paperback out Feb 28). If Kim were allowed to pick two favorites, her other favorite would be While the City Slept by Eli Sanders (paperback out Feb 7). We’re Excited About: Amy is looking forward to so many books in 2017, but, when pressed, narrowed it down to these six: All Grown Up by Jami Attenberg (out March 7) All the Lives I Want: Essays about My Best Friends Who Happen to Be Famous Strangers by Alana Massey (out Feb 7) Alana Massey is Amy’s “Twitter life coach,” so you should probably follow her too: @alanamassey The Road to Jonestown by Jeff Guinn (out April 11) Woman No. 17 by Edan Lepucki (out May 9) And We’re Off by Dana Schwartz (out May 2)  Dana Schwartz is also the creator of Guy In Your MFA. Amy says, “She’s so talented it makes me angry.” Emma is excited about Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders (out Feb 14) Seriously. Read this book. It’s his debut novel and it’s amazing. Or listen to the record-breaking audiobook. What We Do Now: Standing Up for Your Values in Trump's America edited by Dennis Johnson and Valerie Merians  shout out to Melville House for putting this out with a quickness. Always Happy Hour by Mary Miller the cover is done by the amazing painter Lee Price. And Kim is looking forward to The Animators by Kayla Rae Whitaker because she’s pretty sure it’s queer. Chapter I [19:50] In Which We Discuss How Kids Book Authors Write The Best Erotic Fan Fic, Dick Jokes, and Shipwreck in Seattle Amy works at Booksmith in San Francisco, California. She is their Events Director, does all their social media, and is their de facto HR dept. Because bookstores.  Booksmith recently celebrated their 40th anniversary and they’re opening a new store called The Bindery—a sort of wine bar/living room space/events annex—across the street. Amy is also the co-creator and host of Shipwreck, “a competitive literary erotic fan fiction live show,” which began in June 2013 and runs once a month at Booksmith (and sometimes travels to Comic Cons). They record ALL the shows so you can enjoy crazy dick jokes from the comfort of your own headphones. They were inspired by the competitive reading series Write Club, which also has  a podcast! Shipwreck is such an amazing concept, that Grand Central Publishing wanted to collect the stories in a book: Fanfiction Parodies of Great (and Terrible) Literature from the Smutty Stage of Shipwreck edited by Amy Stephenson and Casey A. Childers Hey, Seattleites, does this sound awesome? You too can enjoy live erotic fan fiction at Emerald City Comic Con this year on March 2nd. The line-up includes:  Seanan McGuire (whose most recent book is Dusk or Dark or Dawn or Day and who wrote for the very first Shipwreck) Peter Mountford (author of The Dismal Science) Scott Westerfeld (who has a graphic novel called Spill Zone coming out May 2nd)  Matt Fraction (who writes Sex Criminals, so you know his erotic fanfic will be excellent).  They’ll be writing fan fiction for Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman comics. And their San Francisco performer, Baruch Porras-Hernandez, will be reading for both shows. Buy tickets here. There will be two shows, one at 7pm and another at 9:30pm. BONUS: we, the Drunk Booksellers, will be there selling books and representing Elliott Bay Book Co. Chapter II [40:00] In Which We Reveal Bookseller Secrets and Are Super Supportive of Each Other The book description guaranteed to get Amy reading is: “strong female character written by a women involved in a murder somehow and you won’t believe the twist… bathtub gin reading.” If you need a gateway mystery, Amy recommends Tana French, specifically The Likeness. Her desert island pick is The Comedians by Graham Greene because she already reads it every year.
