On Consolation: Finding Solace in Dark TimesI think On Consolation by Michael Ignatieff would make a powerful choice for our club. It explores how people across history—writers, artists, philosophers, even biblical voices—sought solace in times of grief, crisis, and uncertainty. From Job and Psalms to Camus, Akhmatova, and Primo Levi, each chapter stands as its own meditation, offering us not only rich historical insight but also timely reflections for today’s world. With its universal themes of resilience, loss, and hope, I believe this book could spark some of our most meaningful conversations yet.
