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.
