Join fellow fiction enthusiasts to discuss critically acclaimed novels. This class focuses on Missing Sam (2026) by Thrity Umrigar. 

Samantha fails to return from jogging the morning after a domestic quarrel between her and her wife Aliya. When Aliya reports Samantha as missing, the neighbors suspect Aliya, a Muslim, Indian-American gay woman, in Samantha's disappearance. Aliya's desperate search to find her wife is complicated by media scrutiny, Islamophobia, and a strained reunion with her estranged father. This literary, psychological thriller is also a nuanced examination of cultural identity, family estrangement, and the experience of being both brown and gay in today's political climate.
