Show #98 Hour 2 | August 22, 2015 | A Huffington Post “Moving, Must Read Memoir” of 2015, That Thing You Do With Your Mouth: The Sexual Autobiography of Samantha Matthews as Told to David Shields changes the way we think and talk about trauma by addressing it straight on. Kirkus Reviews says the book is “an insightful, thought-provoking probe into the impulses of human desire.”
Guests:
David Shields is the author of twenty books, including Reality Hunger (named one of the best books of 2010 by more than thirty publications); The Thing About Life Is That One Day You’ll Be Dead (a New York Times bestseller); Black Planet (a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award); and, due out next year, War Is Beautiful. His personal, insightful I Think You’re Totally Wrong: A Quarrel, co-written with former student Caleb Powell, has been adapted by James Franco into a film that premiered in April 2015 at Vancouver’s DOXA documentary film festival. Shields’s work has been translated into twenty languages.
