from Poured Over
"You know, when I wrote the book, I sort of thought it would resonate with a fairly narrow… I was writing it for people who are more or less like me, you know, little girls who grew up in junkyards and didn't go to school, and then going to college and everything changed." Tara Westover's memoir was a massive hit with readers everywhere when it was first published; four years later, Educated is out in paperback, and Tara joins us on the show to talk about choices and boundaries, family and home, how excited she is for new readers to come to the book in paperback, what's next for her and much more. Featured Books: Educated by Tara Westover Second Place by Rachel Cusk Playing and Reality by D.W. Winnicott Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert, translated by Lydia Davis.
