Summary
This week Kelly and Katai read I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN MEN by Jaqueline Harpman, a speculative fiction about a woman raised in a cage with 39 other women on a probable alien planet and how she adapts. They talk the Child's endearing oddness, theorize on why the hell they were being imprisoned, speculate why the women get stuck in despair, and throw a little posthumous shade on RBG.
