I’d forgotten just how great this interview was. And how criminally under-read it was (probably because it seems I neglected to link to it anywhere — ugh!). And where else but BULL would there be such a far-ranging and well-considered exploration of some of the toxic-masculinity and other dark themes on display in CHINESE GUCCI?

Honestly, looking back at this makes me feel good! Benjamin really understood a lot of what the book was about. He did his homework and prepped some interesting and insightful questions.

Truly, shame on me for missing out on promoting this way back when. Things like that make me feel pretty dumb. I mean, who knows what else I’ve missed on?!

Anyhow, maybe do me a favor and set aside 15 or so minutes to give this thing the proper read it never got back in 2019!
