Well, Keri Russell, it's been such a pleasure talking with you today. Thank you so much for coming to Fresh Air. Thank you so much. I spoke with Keri Russell last year. Season two of her show, The Diplomat, is currently streaming on Netflix. Coming up, we remember writer Dorothy Allison, who wrote with painful honesty about the experience of being physically and sexually abused as a child.

This is Fresh Air. I'm Sam Brigger. When the book was published, George Garrett wrote in the New York Times Book Review, The literary territory that Allison has set out to explore is dangerous turf, a minefield. It is a great pleasure to see her succeed, blithe and graceful, as Baryshnikov in performance. The book was a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction.

Allison also wrote a collection of short stories called Trash, a second novel called Cave Dweller, and a memoir titled Two or Three Things I Know for Sure. Terry Gross spoke with Dorothy Allison in 1992 when Bastard Out of Carolina was published. Allison said she tried to avoid the pitfalls of the literature of victimology by being as honest as possible.

That honesty meant describing the disturbing, confusing thoughts of the victim. Here's a reading from a third of the way into the book. And please note, this interview includes a difficult discussion about child sexual abuse, and you may consider not listening further.
