In her latest book, The Helen 100, writer and humorist Helen Razer chronicles the sudden, life-shattering evaporation of her 15 year relationship. This grief (and a subsequent dare from her beauty therapist) prompted her to go on 100 dates over a year – in search of renewal, distraction and good old-fashioned porking. In this energetic and hilarious conversation with sex and gender researcher Hannah McCann, Razer talks about what she recently discovered about queer identity, profound affect and our broad social values about dating, power and desperation.
