Fruit Fly by Josh Silver
This month, Ian, Bev, and Alo discuss Fruit Fly by Josh Silver, a sharp, darkly funny, and deeply unsettling satirical thriller about identity, ambition, desire, and the strange ways people reinvent themselves. In this episode, we unpack Silver’s wildly inventive novel, from its slippery characters and dual perspectives to its biting take on the art world, privilege, and the stories we tell about ourselves. We talk about what makes Fruit Fly so difficult to pin down—and why its mix of satire, suspense, humour, and psychological unease makes for such a memorable reading experience. Whether you've already devoured Fruit Fly or you're wondering what all the buzz is about, join us for a conversation about one of the year's most provocative and unpredictable novels.
