Oh, I loved this one!! Pre-ordering her book from my local indie bookshop right away.

Not sure if "divorce-elated" is a typo or intentional, but am delighted either way.

I love this whole interview. Now I want to be friends with Madhushree and read everything she's written. The part about her love for Arundhati Roy really hit me. That she can love her problematic stances. That is so generous!

Something in here also made me think about how we/I use the term "old" as a pejorative. When I was a kid, everyone, including me, used the term "gay" as a synonym for bad. Not proud to admit that, but I said it too. Now, I use old that way. As if old means forgetful or weak. We have to change that. I have to change that. Starting now.
