The Ezra Klein Show

She's a distinguished professor of English focusing on Gender studies at the University of Utah and the author of the book Genders.

It is the thesis of my book.

I read, as a lot of people did over the last year, Detransition Baby.

Part of what I love about Marlon Bailey's great book, Butch Queens Up in Pumps, where he talks about black, gay and trans ballroom culture.

She has written a book called Histories of the Transgender Child. Really important book because from that book I was able to glean where does the concept of gender come from?

Eli Clare who writes on disability and this book is partly memoir, partly conception. The book is called Brilliant Imperfection. It's really helping me in thoughts about disability.

I have a weakness for the Jack Reacher series of novels. I love them. One of the random things about Jack Reacher novels is that they are written by someone who had never really been to the United States before he wrote them.

That reminds me of a book I read some years ago now, but it's called The Great Shift, Encountering God in the Biblical Era. It's by a guy named James Kugel.

He does something throughout the book that I found somewhat funny reading it, which is he focuses in on the reactions of the people around the prophets.

the first is Norman Fisher's book called When You Greet Me, I Bow, Notes and Reflections from a Life in Zen.

When You Greet Me, I Bow, it's a collection of his essays on language, on relationship, the philosophy of emptiness, culture, social engagement, all of that good stuff.

In their new book, The Paradox of Democracy, Zach Gershberg and Sean Illing make a simple but radical argument. They write, quote, it's better to think of democracy less as a government type and more as an open communicative culture.

Roy Richard Grinker's book called Nobody's Normal.

E. Fuller Torrey's book called American Psychosis.

Pete Earley's book called Crazy to describe what he went through with his own son and trying to get care.

She is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute, and she's the author of the new book, Fixer Upper, How to Repair America's Broken Housing Systems, which is one of the clearest overviews of America's housing policy failures.

I've been reading this book called The Paradox of Democracy by Zack Gershberg and Sean Illing. It's better to think of democracy less as a government type and more as an open communicative culture.

There is an economist called Bill Fischel who wrote a very influential book called The Home Voter Hypothesis, which essentially says that homeowners become single issue voters based on protecting the value of their property.

There are three political scientists, Katie Einstein, David Glick, and Maxwell Palmer, who've written a book called Neighborhood Defenders, which gives fantastic insight into the nittygritty politics, who shows up and participates, and how it looks like smallD democracy but isn't.

I think it's interesting to read this last book by David Graeber with David Wengrow called The Dawn of Everything it's a thoughtprovoking and it's also a form of archaeological science fiction.

Christine Emba, a young Washington Post columnist has a new book called Rethinking Sex. There's a new British book that's going to be released in the United States relatively soon called The Case Against the Sexual Revolution. There's Nona Willis Aronowitz's book called Bad Sex.

I've been rereading a book called No More Nice Girls, which is essays that were written in the 80s in another time of kind of feminist disappointment and retrenchment.

It's by W. David Marks, and it's called Status and Culture, How Our Desire for Social Rank Creates Taste, Identity, Art, Fashion, and Constant Change. It's one of those books that I kept reading and thinking is mindblowing.
