Description

In Episode 74 of PennSound podcasts, Christy Davids talks with Montréal writer Gail Scott about her recent release Permanent Revolution (Book*hug Press, 2021), a compilation of new and revised essays, including work that originally appeared in Scott's foundational feminist text, Spaces Like Stairs (Women's Press, 1996). The revolutionary character of richly polysemous, multiply path-winding texts is a recurrent thread in this conversation. Davids and Scott also query the role of feminist theory, including that which it avows to do, as well as that which it actually does, and for whom.
