We are joined by Lionel Shriver who discusses why she uses fictional novels and dialogue to explore emotional, politicized issues, focusing on her book A Better Life, inspired by NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ proposal to pay residents to house migrants.
The conversation expands to arrested development, climate-change apocalypticism as an excuse to avoid adulthood and family, and claims that medical transition offers a false, endless “project.” Shriver further critiques contemporary left-wing illiberalism and talks mass immigration policy reform.
