No, Kate Clanchy Was Not Cancelled

This whole saga is completely infuriating. Kate Clanchy is an author who piled on a reviewer who called out racist and bigoted passages in her book; Clanchy denied she'd written them (actually, she had, except she'd written "Ashkenazi nose" rather than "Jewish nose", which is if anything worse), and called on everyone to report the review. What happened next? Women of colour who spoke out about it - not least what it said about the publishing industry - were vilified and abused, while Clanchy was turned into a martyr.

One of those women was the brilliant author Monisha Rajesh, who joins me to talk about the truth about what actually happened.
