Alexander Chee talks about the challenges in addressing and writing about sexual assault, how privilege can operate as an intellectual barrier for people, and navigating his career as a "professional gay" writer. He also talks about reading tarot and why his "witchy side" is such an intimate part of who he is. Alexander is the author of The Queen of The Night, How to Write An Autobiographical Novel, and Edinburgh.
