Glamorous Trash Talk: Educated & The Glass Castle
Chelsea and Elizabeth Day (How to Fail) take a hard look at two often compared memoirs: Tara Westover’s 2018 memoir Educated, and Jeannette Wall’s 2005 memoir The Glass Castle. The Glass Castle was accepted as a true recounting of a dysfunctional childhood, while Tara Westover was accused of making up or exaggerating her accounts of her family in Educated. Why would one be believed unquestioningly, and one be controversial? Is it the internet’s fault? Backlash to the #MeToo movement in 2018? Or does our culture have a problem with women who cut ties with their families?
