Hear a very special interview with Riva Lehrer, a Chicago artist and author of Golem Girl. Golem Girl lyrically details Lehrer's life with spina bifida while asking, "what do we sacrifice in the pursuit of normalcy and what becomes possible when embrace monstrosity". Lehrer was interviewed by Lawrence Weschler, Artistic Director Emeritus of the Chicago Humanities Festival.
