In my 63rd podcast, I am thrilled to welcome Shira Dicker, the acclaimed author of 'Lolita at Leonard’s of Great Neck'. Shira’s collection of novellas offers a poignant and witty exploration of life from 1974 - 2000s, capturing the turbulence of puberty, growing up with rooftop kisses and crushes on teachers and the rebellious spirit that clashes with authority figures. Amazon describe's Shira's book and its characters as: "Age-old power struggles—between lovers, between friends, between parents and children— illuminated and analyzed". In our conversation, Shira shares her deeply personal experiences, including the complex emotions of being adopted as an infant. She also talks about the universal fears surrounding puberty, like the anxiety many girls feel about getting their period in public, and young teenage boys having an erection on the train or in the classroom. Join us as we delve into Shira's wonderfully colorful life and her fascinating journey through these intimate and cultural narratives.
