Izabella Scott's "The Bed Trick"
from LARB Radio Hour
Eric Newman and Medaya Ocher are joined by writer Izabella Scott. Scott is the author of the new book The Bed Trick: Sex and Deception on Trial. Her work has appeared in the Financial Times, Granta, London Review of Books, and on BBC Radio 4's Free Thinking. She was formerly co-editor of The White Review. The Bed Trick recounts the true story of a 2015 trial in the UK, in which a woman accused her best friend of tricking her into a long-term romantic and sexual relationship. Scott talks about the astonishing trial, the laws around "rape by deception," and how to navigate writing nonfiction from dueling points of view.
