About this listen
Amanda Fields and Eva Langston chat with Karen Palmer, author of She’s Under Here, about living with an undercurrent of fear and clawing her way out of abuse. In her memoir, Palmer examines why she ended up trapped, how she escaped, and how she handled the ongoing perils of life constructed around a false identity. She ruthlessly explores the lines between desire and fear, victim and perpetrator, and what it means to make difficult choices as a woman when none of the options are good.
Karen Palmer is a Pushcart Prize winner, with grants from the NEA and the Colorado Council on the Arts. She’s Under Here grew out of her essay, “The Reader is the Protagonist,” first published in the Virginia Quarterly Review and selected by Leslie Jamison for inclusion in The Best American Essays 2017.
