Extreme Reactions & the Risk of Sharing Art—with Emmalea Russo, author of Vivienne

This week I spoke with Emmalea Russo about her novel Vivienne , the strange experience of putting art into the world right now, and what it means to create something that doesn’t try to make everyone comfortable. We talk about cancel culture, ’90s nostalgia, the difference between information and truth, discomfort in art (and growth), and how dreams can act as an antidote to the algorithmic age. This one gets a little philosophical—we go from astrology to internet culture to the writing process to dreams—so buckle up.
