Life Stories #40: Jessica Dorfman Jones

After "living a life of should" for nearly thirty years, Jessica Dorfman Jones threw it all away--including her marriage--when she fell immediately in lust with the musician who showed up at her apartment to give her guitar lessons. Klonopin Lunch describes her two-and-a-half year without attenpting to win our sympathies, and without holding back on just how badly she behaved. In this interview, we talk about (among other things) why she took that approach, how other women responded to it when reading her memoir, and how those reactions helped inspire her next writing project.
