Vendela Vida discusses her novel, “And Now You Can Go.” Martinson asks Vida to read a passage from the book about a man who holds a woman at gunpoint in a park. She discusses how she had initially written a much different book, but edited out most of the parts that she didn’t like and restarted. She talks about having annoying roommates and how she incorporated them into the book. She describes what her main character would do if she ever saw the man who held her at gunpoint again. She ends the interview by talking about how she studied female initiation rights in America.
