In Need of an Emotional Epidural

SPOILER WARNING OF THE ENTIRETY OF THE SONG OF ACHILLES BY MADELINE MILLER

CONTENT WARNING:

This episode discusses topics of murder, war, and other violent imagery. Please check the content warnings on these books before reading them so you are aware of other things included that we didn't explicitly discuss.

Maggie and Jillian commiserate about their experience reading The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. They cried because those boys were so sweet, they cried because that war was so brutal, and they cried in the face of the unending march toward a fate that our hero's could not avoid. The pain of being doomed by the narrative is truly like no other. And to think Maggie finished this book ON A CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT. F.

We hope you enjoyed this book as much as we did but if you didn't DON'T TELL US WE ARE NOT YET IN THE EMOTIONAL SPACE FOR CRITICISM.
