Listen "Book Club: Desire, Ruin, and the Stories We Tell Ourselves About Love (on Madeleine Lucas’s Thirst for Salt)"
Episode Synopsis
Our first Lost & Found Book Club episode is here and we’re starting tender.
In this deep-dive discussion of Thirst for Salt by Madeleine Lucas, we explore the slow ache of a relationship that never quite breaks, but hollows. We talk love and longing, emotional whiplash, age-gap relationships, unequal power dynamics, aestheticized sadness, and the fantasy of becoming someone through someone else.
Why do we stay in relationships that hurt so much? Is it love or just projection? And what does it cost to be the one who feels more?
If you’ve ever looked back on a past relationship and realized you were building a life out of longing, this episode is for you, whether you've read the book or not.
Plus: our August book club reveal (it’s sharp, feral, and unforgettable).
