The Write Way to Mother: Rachel Yoder

  • Summary

  • My first guest for this series is Rachel Yoder, author of Nightbitch- a novel published last year in 2021. Although it’s categorized as fiction, I would argue it’s more a cross-genre piece that is part auto-fiction, part science-fiction. The protagonist in the book is an artist and stay-at-home mom who turns into a dog (yes, you read it right). This is one of the most bizarre and imaginative books I’ve read in a long time. It’s dark, funny, weird and wild. It’s magical. It’s provocative. It’s an easy read to devour yet a difficult read to digest. 


    This is a very special episode- not only because it’s the first of this series, but also because I’m joined by a co-host for the first time. Her name is Elizabeth Polanco, a writer, editor based in Toronto. When Elizabeth isn’t writing or editing, she works at one of the most beloved vintage shops- Mama Loves You. Elizabeth was the one introduced me to Nightbitch. So I thought it would be interesting to invite her to join me on this conversation as I was curious to hear about her reading experience considering she isn’t a mother herself.
