This book club chat is truly monumental. We had the privilege of hearing from author and legend Orson Scott Card, whose contributions to the world of science fiction are nothing short of brilliant. I was moved to tears as he spoke about how many individuals from his own life are woven into his fiction. While he cannot heal them in real life, he finds a way to heal them and offer redemption through his literature.
Join us as we discuss the qualities of empathy and kindness, how humanity might respond to an alien invasion, the dramas that unfold within families and marriages, and the uncomfortable truths that sometimes go unspoken at funerals.
If you haven't yet read Speaker for the Dead, please do. This book still carries remarkable healing power and feels profoundly relevant today.
