This week we're connecting with journalist and writer Leah McLaren to reframe memoir. We get into her new fearless memoir Where You End and I Begin,
which started as a book she was writing with her mother and in the end
became a story about herself. It's a meandering conversation that
started even before we pressed record — subjects touched on include
Toronto art schools in the 90s, MeToo, victim narratives, and the
traumas of mothering (both inflicted and experienced). TW: references to
rape and assault are made throughout the episode. Please listen with
care.
