Welcome back to the couch! This week on Book Therapy we're getting into mind bending stories that tackle one of the most important themes out there: the fight for body autonomy and the true cost of freedom.
First up, we dive into the dark, haunting woods of Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon. We talk about Vern's escape from a strict religious compound, the shocking changes happening to her own body and what this gothic masterpiece has to say about history, power, and reclaiming yourself.
Then, we shift gears into the visionary, Afrofuturist world of The Memory Librarian: And Other Stories Of Dirty Computer by Janelle Monae. In a society where memories can be erased and identities are strictly controlled, what does it mean to hold onto who you are? The Clinic Is Open come join us!
