E. Jean Carroll on Untold Stories That Have To Be Told
This week we have a historically important memoirist on the show. E. Jean Carroll risked her privacy and her reputation to charge President Trump with sexual assault. He was convicted for those crimes. E. Jean Carroll is a writer and an author who penned a memoir about being on trial—and how when women are victimized and assaulted, they’re slut-shamed, discredited, and scrutinized. In this interview, E. Jean tells us about her writing choices, why she opted for a breezier and often-times funny tone on such a serious topic, and why she’s not afraid. In the book trend, we talk about preorders: why and how they matter and why Amazon has such a corner on them.
E. Jean Carroll is a journalist and longtime advice columnist best known for her column “Ask E. Jean” in Elle, which ran for over 25 years. She has written for Esquire, Outside, and Saturday Night Live. Carroll is the author of Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President, about the two sexual abuse cases she won against Trump, as well as two earlier books, a biography of Hunter S. Thompson and What Do We Need Men For? Her high-profile legal victories against Donald Trump have elevated her as a symbol of resilience and truth-telling.
