Lindy West in conversation with Carvell Wallace
Through her comedic approach to serious issues, activist work against fatphobia, and personal sincerity, Lindy West has become an inspiration to her fans. West is the author of the best-selling memoir Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman, which was also adapted by Hulu with West as an executive producer. Her writing has appeared in the The New York Times, The Guardian, Cosmopolitan, Jezebel, and others. In 2015, she co-founded Shout Your Abortion, a campaign to promote people sharing their abortion experiences. In West's new memoir Adult Braces: Driving Myself Sane, she tells the story of her hilarious road trip, and in the process unpacks her journey to fame, through struggles with depression, rethinking her traditional marriage, and the rediscovery of who she wants to be.
Carvell Wallace regularly contributes to the New York Times Magazine, and has written cover profiles for Rolling Stone, GQ, and Esquire. His intimate, often heartbreaking essays address everything from the end of Barack Obama's presidency, to the connections between cowboy poetry and forgotten histories of Black people, to the possibility that his mother would have wanted an abortion. In 2019, Wallace co-wrote The Sixth Man with Golden State Warrior Andre Iguodala, a memoir of the basketball player's life in the NBA. Wallace's new memoir, Another Word For Love, looks back on his own life, from experiencing homelessness with his mother to raising two teenagers in a disturbingly violent and precarious world.
