Occasionally a book comes along that takes me way too long to finish. The reason it takes me too, long is that I continue to turn the pages back--I reread sections, passages, phrases. I roll ideas around my head that I've already considered. The books that take me too long are the books that I don't want to finish because they are so good. So good, that when I do finish them, I turn directly back to page one.
Amie Souza Reilly's Human/Animal: A Bestiary in Essays is one of these books. I had the distinct honor of speaking with Amie about her book, about language, aggressive masculinity, and so much more. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
