This week, hosts Kofi, Sylvia, and Laura take a deliciously taboo deep dive into the books that mess us up—in the best way. From Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom! to Nabokov’s Lolita, Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and Yanagihara’s A Little Life, we’re talking about the reads that leave you gutted, haunted, and somehow... wanting more.
Why do we love books that break all the rules? What do these messy, morally complex stories say about the world—and about us? Buckle up for a bumpy ride through trauma, obsession, broken systems, and beautiful prose.
Because let’s be honest: the more f’d up the book, the deeper the obsession.
