In this episode, she and Nathan talk about mainstream Canadian literary culture’s discomfort with her work’s signature combination of deep ideas and frank sexuality, about the total coincidence that led to her having two films premiere in the same year, and about the complicated experience of publishing Yara—a novel that explores Jewish identity and its relationship to Israel—in October 2023.
