It's About Giving Regrets A Voice: Matt Mendez's "Barely Missing Everything"

from Novel Ideas · host The Novel Ideas Podcast

From conversations about racism, legacy, and trauma, there's an undercurrent of regret voiced in today's episode, especially Matt Mendez takes us in a journey through his three protagonists' lives as we arrive to a turning point that leaves everything up in the air. Join me for a spoiler heavy discussion on the weight of identity and what happens when we are denied that subjectivity. I hope you enjoy the episode. BYYEEE!!!!
