Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh
Some Desperate Glory, winner of the 2024 Hugo for Best Novel was our pick for April and May. A good set of discussion questions can be found here . My favorite question is the first one: "Many stories, especially space operas, are told from the perspective of a likable underdog. How did it feel to be so deep in the head of a protagonist who was cruel to others? " And Tesh actually addresses the question of Kyr's likability. Book Key has chapter-by-chapter questions. Questions from Super Summary . Nerds of a Feather blog interviews Tesh . The most interesting thing I learned in preparing for book club was the existence of the "Humanity, F*ck Yeah!" trope. Read about it here and here .
