In episode 76, Gen and Jette discuss their latest book club book, Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich. This dystopian story follows Cedar Hawk Songmaker, a young pregnant woman who finds herself having to hide in a world where pregnancy has become a matter of state security. Evolution is moving backwards and society as we know it is no longer. You know we love a good dystopia, and Erdrich packs so much into this relatively short book. We had such a good conversation about these characters, the end of the world, and the possibility of never seeing snow again. Show Notes: Louise Erdrich's next book, The Sentence, is set for release on November 9, 2021. Check out this article about Future Home of the Living Gods in The New York Times Our next book club book is a graphic novel, The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: California by Gerard Way and Shaun Simon, illustrated by Becky Cloonan. The novel serves as a sequel to My Chemical Romance's album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, so make sure you listen to that first!
