20. "Never Let Me Go" is frustrating...but is that the point?
from Shoulda Books
I unpack Kazuo Ishiguro's 2005 classic "Never Let Me Go". I dive into some of the questions that philosophers have asked for millennia, vent some of my frustrations with the characters, and take a peek at a very specific branch of science you don't hear much about today. sign up for the Shoulda Books Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/ShouldaBooks join the Shoulda Book Club on Fable: https://fable.co/club/the-shoulda-book-club-with-shoulda-books-225140024638?brid=yapSJjJ6zqETOwu3XngDDw this month, we read "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro https://bookshop.org/a/120498/9781400078776 next month, we're reading "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini https://bookshop.org/a/120498/9781594631931 the links above are affiliate links for bookshop.org. by purchasing books through these links, you support local bookstores, and I earn a (very small) commission. the article I mentioned in the episode: https://www.genome.gov/about-genomics/fact-sheets/Cloning-Fact-Sheet follow Shoulda Books on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shouldabooks/ follow Shoulda Books on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@shouldabooks follow Jonathan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jf.kirk/?hl=en Shoulda Books theme song by Skyler Klingenberg
