My guest in this week’s Book Club podcast is the Albanian-born political philosopher Lea Ypi, whose new book <em>Indignity: A Life Reimagined</em> reconstructs the story of her grandmother’s early life amid the turbulence of the early and mid twentieth century. She talks to me about using the techniques of fiction to supply the gaps in the archive, about Albania’s troubling position as a tiny power among great ones, why the fight between Kant and Nietzsche remains a live one — and how online trolls sparked her quest for a restorative account of her beloved grandmother’s life.
