‘The Big Hurt’
An audio encounter between Ayun Halliday and author Erika Schickel to discuss Schickel’s new memoir
Author Erika Schickel sits down with her contemporary, Book and Film Globe contributor Ayun Halliday, to discuss Erika’s latest memoir, The Big Hurt, a harrowing, hilarious reckoning of her years as a self-defined bad girl, particularly as pertains to her disastrous entanglements with two older me–a controlling (and thinly-disguised) celebrity author and a teacher at the progressive boarding school that her parents bundled her off to as a young teen. A must-listen for anyone who hit puberty prior to the Age of Consent, and an education for those who emerged into it.
