Owen Carrol
The Toby Gribben Show Highlights - A podcast by Shout Radio
Owen Carrol, a native of Dundee, Scotland, has been weaving intricate tales for the past six years, delving into the realms of philosophy and morality through his thought-provoking works. A passionate explorer of human psychology, Carrol is driven by an insatiable curiosity to dissect the nuances of dialogues and interactions and how they shape the human experience.Challenging societal preconceptions, Carrol confronts the ageist attitudes towards literary prowess, advocating that the merit of a book transcends the age of its author. Surprising many with his profound writings on weighty subjects, Carrol is a unique voice among his peers, offering a fresh perspective on the world through the lens of literature.Before embracing his role as a wordsmith, Carrol immersed himself in the realm of politics, dedicating three years (2019-2022) to civic engagement in his city. His commitment manifested in active involvement in branch offices, participation in the youth council, and even vying for a seat in the Scottish Youth Parliament. However, the call of literature proved stronger, leading Carrol back to his true passion armed with newfound inspiration and a richer understanding of ideologies and perspectives.Motivated by a pressing societal issue, Carrol's latest literary endeavour is a poignant exploration into the alarming surge in teenage suicide rates. With a narrative that takes the form of a suicide note from a troubled teenager, Carrol seeks to unravel the complexities that lead young individuals to make such a dire choice. His quest to understand the Right to Death delves into the moral and justifiability of ending one's own life, as he courageously tackles the subject of Miseries, offering a unique and contemplative perspective on this deeply sensitive matter. In doing so, Owen Carrol emerges not just as an author but as a compassionate seeker of truth and understanding in the face of profound human struggles. Hosted on Acast.
