Claire Dederer appears discusses her book and various other topics with KEXP’s Cheryl Waters tomorrow night at Town Hall.
It’s hard to express what’s so good about Claire Dederer’s Love and Trouble, a new memoir about sex, power, female friendship, and the consolations of literature. In her mid-40s, for no particular reason, Dederer experienced “a world-terror that sometimes sent [her] to bed in the middle of the day.”
“[It] howled at the door, no matter how cozy I was in the house with my funny children and my husband who was always willing to chat with me, no matter the hour,” she writes. “My inability to get out of bed puzzled everyone.”
