Okay, now let’s get to the show…
As the stock market crashed in 1929, Ursula Parrot released her novel Ex-Wife. In it, the protagonist darts between the experience of sexual liberation and the ever-present sense of loss from her marriage. It feels at once familiar and refreshingly new. Parrot’s biographer Marsha Gordon asks why a century later women still have an uneasy relationship with the label ex-wife.
We also talk about Parrott’s exciting, scandalous, and fabulous life, of liberation, fear, and ex-wifery.
If you like what you hear, preorder This American Ex-Wife the book!

* Read Marsha Gordon’s fascinating biography Becoming the Ex-Wife: The Unconventional Life and Forgotten Writings of Ursula Parrott.
* Ex-Wife by Ursula Parrott is passionate, fascinating, wonderfully, and heart-achingly written.
* This American Ex-Wife is hosted by Lyz Lenz (@LyzLenz) and produced by Zachary Oren Smith (@ZachOSmith). Illustration by Alessandro Gottardo. Show art by Suzanne Glémot (@tape_remover).
