  • 38. Pet
    Dec 24 2024

    There are no monsters in Lucille... Or that's what Jam has been told her whole life. She was also under the impression that people didn't come out of paintings, though, so there's a lot to learn. Join hosts Samantha and Dani as they discuss this and more, delving into Pet by Akwaeke Emezi. Discussions include queer, neurodivergent, African representation, existential queries, Bible lore, and more. Our hosts have much to talk about with this fast-paced, near-future utopian YA.
