Evolving Love Ep. 41 - Chloe Caldwell On Her Acclaimed Novella "WOMEN"
To celebrate the re-release of her cult classic Queer novel, “WOMEN”, we are overjoyed to be joined by writer Chloe Caldwell.
Named one of Cosmopolitan UK's Best Erotic Novels of All Time, WOMEN intimately explores one young writer’s whirlwind and whiplash affair as she falls deeply in love with a woman for the first time.
In WOMEN, Caldwell lays bare the fierce obsession of addictive love, and asks the question: what, if anything, can who we love teach us about who we are?
Chloe’s essays have appeared in the New York Times, Vice, New York Magazine’s “The Cut”, Nylon and more.
Originally published by Short Flight/Long Drive books in 2015 on a limited print run, WOMEN quickly found a wide and dedicated audience. Emily Ratajkowski and Lena Dunham have cited it as one of their favorite books of all time, and Cheryl Strayed has called the book “magic.”
In this discussion we discuss Chloes own experiences with non-monogamy, Chloe navigating her Queer identity, pre menstrual dysphoric disorder, power play and dynamics and so much more…
