The feminist writer and social critic, bell hooks, discusses the paranormal world, the public’s fixation on butts, and what it’s like to be a dissident intellectual. She was born on this day in 1952.
The writer and social critic Bell Hooks lives in Kentucky, where she is the Distinguished Professor in Residence of Appalachian Studies at Berea College; but for many years she was a New Yorker, with an apartment on Perry Street. She was back in the Village recently, serving as a scholar-in-residence at the New School, and staying at the Jade Hotel, on West Thirteenth Street.
“I have had an ironing-board butt all my life, so I never came into the drooling-over-the-ass thing,” Hooks said. She had just celebrated her sixty-second birthday. “This aging thing is a bitch—can I tell you?” she said.“Oh, I’m into psychics, telepathics, you name it,” Hooks said. “All the paranormal world is very interesting to me.” She asked whether Cox reveals her age. “I do not,” Cox said, coyly. “My official age is ‘over twenty-one.
Gloria Steinem had been Hooks’s conversational partner the evening before. “Did you see Gloria Steinem on ‘The Good Wife’?” she asked Cox, before admitting that she had no idea what “The Good Wife” is. “It’s a show that problematizes the thing of standing by your man,” Cox said. “For several seasons?” Hooks said, with a note of incredulity.
