Whoa!mance: Romance, Feminism, and Ourselves

186. Re-straint: Meet Me At the Anvil by Kate Prior


Listen Later

Please, no need to swoon - it's just us, talking about MEET ME AT THE ANVIL by KATE PRIOR.

Prior isn't just the author's surname, it also describes when we talked about this author re: LOVE, LAUGH, LICH - look it up in the feed where you found this one!

Diane is fine marrying Martin - as long as she has her special drawings and her special horn. That is until it isn't fine after one of her frequent faints (courtesy of staring too long at Martin's ruggedly handsome best man and cousin, Liam) interrupts the ceremony and leads to a perspective-shifting goat encounter. She and Liam hit the road to nowhere, or is it...to forever?

Does centering the body, even the marginalized body, equal objectification? What has romance writing lost in the fronting of author personalities? Why is it so hard to think of weird parts with novellas?

Keep your eye on that goat and your ear on this podcast - they're both wily son-of-a-guns.
