Summary

In this episode with Saad Omar Khan, we discuss depression, faith, unrequited love, and the connections between these. We explore these in Khan’s latest work, Drinking the Ocean, which tells the story of Murad, whose carefully constructed reality is upset by a chance encounter with a long lost love. Set in England, Canada, and Pakistan, Drinking the Ocean forces us to contemplate deep questions on faith and family responsibility. Drinking the Ocean is out now from Buckrider Books. _____________________ Guest’s links Buy Drinking the Ocean: https://www.saadomarkhan.com/drinkingtheocean/ Follow Omar on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/s.omar.khan/ Contact Omar: https://www.saadomarkhan.com/contact/ _____________________ Host’s links Find out more about the show: https://www.journeyoftheart.com/ Follow Journey of the Art on Instagram: ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/journeyoftheartpod/ Book a one-on-one with Lola: https://wordcaps.com/coaching/
