Melissa Febos joins us to discuss her new book, The Dry Season. In the wake of a catastrophic two-year relationship, Melissa decided to take a break: For three months she would abstain from dating, relationships, and sex. By abstaining from all forms of romantic entanglement, Febos began to see her life and her self-worth in a radical, new way. Her year of divestment transformed her relationships with friends and peers, her spirituality, her creative practice, and, most of all, her relationship to herself.  Join us for this candid and deep conversation with Melissa about her book and the lessons she's learned in life so far.
