Medaya Ocher and Eric Newman are joined by writer and artist Renee Gladman to discuss the re-release of To After That (TOAF) and her latest book, My Lesbian Novel. TOAF focuses on one of Gladman’s abandoned manuscripts, working through its creation and revision in an attempt to parse what literary failure means. My Lesbian Novel completely reinvents and reimagines the lesbian romance. Gladman discusses form and its possibilities, as well as the artist’s struggle to realize the vision of a project.
