Author Miriam Toews on 'Women Talking'
All Of It - A podcast by WNYC
[REBROADCAST FROM April 10, 2019] Miriam Toews joins us to discuss her novel, Women Talking. The book tells the story of women in a Mennonite community who thought that they and other girls and women were being violated in the night by demons coming to punish them for their sins, but eventually learn that they were in fact drugged and attacked by a group of men from their own community. It is now a film from director Sarah Polley.
