37. A Horizon of Freedom. [Suzanne Akbari.]
Suzanne Akbari is an American who has just now
returned to the United States after almost a quarter of a century in Canada.
She’s a professor of Medieval Studies, and for a long time she was based at
the University of Toronto, but has recently relocated to the Institute for
Advanced Studies in Princeton, NJ. Suzanne has written books on medieval
history and literature, including several collaborative works—most recently, a
book called How We Read: Tales, Fury, Nothing,
Sound.
She also co-hosts a literature podcast with Chris
Piuma, called The Spouter-Inn. She has four kids and three cats.
Suzanne and Michael chat about the corporeal experience of music, discovering
self confidence, converting to Islam as an adult, the appeal of strength, and
the capacious and joyful embodiment of Missy Elliott's music.
