I helped pull together this playlist to celebrate the paperback edition of Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments (which is good & you should read). I was happy to have the opportunity to doula these spiritually-adjacent musical selections into a form. Rolling Stone mentioned the playlist. That was weird.
