28. Who Even Are We? Martyr! and the Search for Self
Update: 2025-06-15
Description
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.
