28. Who Even Are We? Martyr! and the Search for Self
from SOS Library · host SSL
This episode, we dive into Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar—and let’s just say, we didn’t all walk away with the same take. Between shifting POVs, existential spirals, and one ending that sparked serious debate, this book had us questioning identity, purpose, and what it means to live a meaningful life. Buckle up for a discussion that’s as messy, layered, and thought-provoking as the novel itself.Next book club book: My Friends by Fredrik BackmanChecked out: LinThe God of the Woods - Liz MooreThere, There - Tommy OrangeThe Bride Test - Helen HoangShanMy Friends - Fredrik BackmanMockingjay - Suzanne CollinsThe Disappeared - Rebecca J.
