The Futilitarians by Anne Gisleson

Our Year of Thinking, Drinking, Grieving, and Reading

Set against the vibrant backdrop of New Orleans, this reflective narrative delves into the lives of a group of friends who form a unique book club to explore existential themes and life's inherent absurdities. As they navigate personal losses, struggles, and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the group finds solace and understanding in literature, philosophy, and each other's company. Through their discussions and shared experiences, they confront the futility of life while discovering the profound connections that bind them together, ultimately finding meaning in the seemingly meaningless.
