'Situationships' and the ambiguity surrounding queer relationships, with Naoise Dolan

This week, we're joined by bestselling novelist Naoise Dolan to discuss her debut book, Exciting Times.The duo talk about the two very different central relationships in Naoise's novel and how ambiguity characterises them both in very different ways. When does a push-pull dynamic between two people become toxic? And are we overusing that word when we describe romantic relationships?The pair also discuss why female novelists are almost always asked if their work is biographical, particularly when it covers sex and relationships.Follow the show on Instagram at @millennial_loveSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/millenniallove.

Love comes in many shapes and forms. People, objects, places, animals, music, and even moments are all capable of sparking those magical feelings within us. In this new video podcast from The Independent, we’ll be speaking to guests about the different loves of their lives, the stories behind them and what that love has taught them about themselves and their place in the world. Because all of us are capable of loving something – and deep down, it’s the things we choose to love, and how we love them, that often reveal the most about who we are.
