Career Girls with Helen O'Hara

from Sentimental Garbage · host Sentimental Garbage

This episode of Sentimental Garbage is pretty blue so maybe don’t listen with kids in the car. This week we’re talking sex, lies, class and Oxford University with Louise Mensch’s 1995 debut Career Girls. Film critic and Oxford graduate Helen O’Hara defends this x-rated read about the all-powerful Rowena Gordon and Topaz Rossi who engage in a lifelong rivalry across the entire media industry. Erections are bursting against jeans, curves are being poured into tiny dresses, and good God is it compelling.Music by Harry Harris, artwork by Gavin Day. Recorded at Acast and produced by Hannah Varrall.
