Show Notes

Kelsey Osgood is a graduate of Columbia University and Goucher College’s creative nonfiction MFA program. Her work has appeared in New York, The New Yorker, Time, Harper’s Magazine, and elsewhere. Her first book, How to Disappear Completely: On Modern Anorexia, was chosen for the Barnes and Noble Discover program. I met Kelsey a few years ago, and spoke with her on this podcast, when I read a beautiful essay she’d written on how religion helps us come to terms with life’s biggest questions concerning life and death. I’m talking with Kelsey today about her new book Godstruck: Seven Women’s Unexpected Journeys to Religious Conversion.
