Episode 1: “Marina Blitshteyn on Theory, A Sunday”

In this first episode of Reading Around the Margins, Naomi is joined by the writer Marina Blitshteyn. They discuss the, perhaps unexpected to Marina, marginalia Marina added to her copy of Theory, A Sunday from Belladonna Press. Their conversation explores books as bodies, how trauma lives in the body, how our selves resurface and reemerge through reading and deep periods of not reading, and much more.
