This is a broad overview of some thoughts "Utopia Avenue," a novel by my favorite contemporary author, David Mitchell, which was just released in mid-July 2020. The episode covers some of the basics of the book and then goes into some personal reflections on a few of the themes of the novel, including my mental health issues and struggles with addiction as well as some pondering about the role past lives may play in creating the challenges in our current lives.
