Madeleine Ryan on autism, self love, and her introspective debut 'A Room Called Earth'
from Good Reading Podcast · host Good Reading Magazine
A young woman gets ready to go to a party. She arrives, feels overwhelmed, leaves, and then returns. Minutely attuned to the people who come into her view, and alternating between alienation and profound connection, she is hilarious, self-aware, sometimes acerbic, and always honest. And by the end of the night, she’s shown us something radical about love, loss, and the need to belong. In this episode, filmmaker and writer Madeleine Ryan joins Max Lewis to chat about her prismatic debut 'A Room Called Earth'.
