YOU KNOW YOU WANT THIS is a compulsively listenable collection of short stories that explore the complex—and often darkly funny—connections between gender, sex, and power across genres. Named one of the most anticipated books of 2019 by top publications like Vogue, Entertainment Weekly, Refinery29, Nylon, Marie Claire, and Bustle, YOU KNOW YOU WANT THIS includes Roupenian's viral New Yorker story "Cat Person." Dubbed "the short story that launched a thousand theories" (The Guardian), it quickly became the magazine's second most-read article of 2017, and think pieces about it soon followed in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Salon, Elle, Jezebel and more.
The full cast of narrators also includes: Jayme Mattler (The Public Theatre, The Berkshire Theatre Festival, The Baltimore Shakespeare Festival), Molly Pope (Found, Horseplay), Will Damron (Audie Award® for Salt to the Sea); Jasmin Savoy Brown (For the People, The Leftovers); Olivia Taylor Dudley (The Magicians, Audie Award® for Illuminae); Corey Brill (The Walking Dead, The Normal Heart); Jacques Roy (The Guerrilla Shakespeare Project); and author Kristen Roupenian.
