I have the audiobook pre-ordered (US version) and very much looking forward to it! Every time I see Helen Lewis in The Atlantic, I read the article. Great topic from a great mind (and writer).
And Lucy Worsely? Who better to bring this conversation to us, such a treat! I so hope for more from you two together.
A enlightening and entertaining discussion — thank you.
Re Catherine de Medici, Perspectives by Laurent Binet may be worth a look. Set in 1550s Florence, it’s an enjoyable historical conceit in which Catherine and her family have a significant role. (Several candidate artistic geniuses also involved!)
And moreover, I'd really like to know whether your listening face, which is extraordinary, is something you developed or something given to you from the beginning. Personal question, no answer really expected, but my way of expressing envious admiration.
Hahah, on TV (like question time) they always want big reactions for the cutaways, to give it a sense of a conversation and emotion and engagement. So I’ve probably become a bit of a ham.
Very enjoyable discussion. If you haven’t already listened, to combine the topics of medieval Japan & female literary genius, you may enjoy these TRIH podcast episodes. Huge fan of all your work (Atlantic, Strong Message, Private Eye etc).

Not hammy at all, more conveying benign attention.
This was such a great conversation, between two (incredibly nice) intellectual heavy-weights!
Excellent and informative discussion. Both parties very much at ease and in command of their respective subjects. Please do this again in some way.

I’ve been resisting TRIH for ages because the archive is intimidatingly vast
Durm and Strang?
Ha, I said it the wrong way round. Blame Harry Potter! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturm_und_Drang
Pre-ordered the book. Good luck with the book promos, always love a Helen podcast appearance!
