If you love reading fiction, and you LOVE closure, you're going to mildly like today's episode! In the final episode of season 1, Na'ama and Melanie conclude this season on 'the self' by talking about animals and plants. What are the limits of selfhood? Do plants have selves? How is fiction helpful in thinking about these existential questions? Spoiler: we do not have answers.
What should I read?
This week, we're reading J M Coetzee's The Lives of Animals and Han Kang's The Vegetarian.
