Rave review in Bust for New Girl Law!

[Anne Elizabeth Moore]

Peoples! 

Exciting news! In its new issue, Bust Magazine called New Girl Law "a post-Empirical, proto-fourth-wave-feminist memoir" and gave it a coveted five-boob (OMG AMAZING) rating. Read the whole thing here!

There's also a new interview with me on Truthout with the delightful Alissa Bohling. Here's an excerpt describing the Chbap Srei, the text we wrote together that I describe in New Girl Law:

The thing about the Chbap Srei is that it's so deeply woven into Cambodian culture, and it's sort of talked about in the same way among the young women as advertising is in the US - you know, "Oh it's an old text; it doesn't matter anymore." But it's also read as natural and inescapable because it has this direct connection to the law, which is that one of the versions was written by a prince, and there's always this confusion when a prince says something. Is it a law? Is it a comment? Is it a warning? - in a former monarchy, that carries a lot of weight. So in the US, to imagine that there was that extra connection - if all of advertising had emanated from some George Washington or Lincoln descendant, who was also an elected official, or was legislated and upheld by some branch of government.

She asked some really great questions—you can read it in its entirety here.

If you haven't picked up your copy of New Girl Law yet, get it straight from Cantankerous Titles. 

Keep an eye out for tour updates here—I'm working on a bunch of fun stuff for this Summer and Fall, so I hope to see you in person soon!
