IS Margaret Atwood a bad feminist? Yeeeeeesh, we don't know. Frank and Gwen talk about the allegations against Aziz Ansari and then, thankfully, move onto books: nonfiction about young immigrants from El Salvador and a novel about a sci-fi dating experiment. Also, help us out by taking our survey at nypl.org/podcastsurvey!

What We're Reading Now

"Am I A Bad Feminist?" in the Globe & Mail, by Margaret Atwood

 

"I went on a date with Aziz Ansari. It turned into the worst night of my life" in Babe, by Katie Way

 

"The Humiliation of Aziz Ansari" in The Atlantic, by Caitlin Flanagan, and her earlier books, To Hell with All That: Loving and Loathing Our Inner Housewife
