"Guilty pleasures," or is the guilt what we find pleasurable? This is the question Dr. Arielle Zibrak asks in her book, Avidly Reads Guilty Pleasures (NYU Press). Arielle joins me to explore just some of the thought-provoking arguments made in her book and coach me on letting myself enjoy imperfect media. It's not a book about romance novels (although they're discussed), but the topic is highly relevant for any media that is coded as "femme," especially stories about love.NEWS:Dame Jodie Slaughter River Boat Cruise &amp; Virtual Event with Copper Dog Books!

091. Guilty Pleasures with Dr. Arielle Zibrak

Arielle Zibrak is the author of Guilty Pleasures, a new book in the Avidly Reads series from New York University Press. She’s also a former editor of romance fiction, and a professor of 19th century popular fiction. Her new book - which is terrific - examines the concept of the “guilty pleasures” and seeks to unpack and answer the question, “What is it about ribald romance novels, luxurious interior design, and frothy wedding dresses that often make women feel their desires come with a shadow of shame?”This is one of those conversations that made my brain go all jiffy pop with bunches of ideas. I hope you enjoy it as well!You can find Avidly Reads: Guilty Pleasures wherever you get your books, and I’ve got links in the show notes, too....Music: purple-planet.com

464. Guilty Pleasures with Dr. Arielle Zibrak

Have you ever found pleasure in consuming rom-coms, “chick lit,” and fictional stories dazzled with beautiful dresses and happy endings? These phrases are never associated of being worthy intellectual pursuits, instead they are seen as trashy and guilty reads targeted for a female population. In this interview, I talk with Arielle Zibrak about her new book "Avidly Reads Guilty Pleasures" and she lets us in on how she came to write the book exploring the cultural stigmas around femme-led stories, the historical tradition of literature consumption and more.  You can find Arielle Zibrak's book "Avidly reads Guilty Pleasures" at the link: https://bookshop.org/books/avidly-reads-guilty-pleasures-9781479807093/9781479807093.
