Episode 43: Our Shadows Taller Than Our Souls
Manage episode 450968920 series 3552603
This week we are discussing Cormac McCarthy's 2006 novel The Road. A bleak but simultaneously uplifting depiction of a journey through a world in which nature has been totally destroyed, the story offers glimmers of hope in spite of its incredibly grim setting. Themes of childhood, memory, dreaming, and perseverance even in the face of seemingly inevitable death mark this book, which is considered by many to be among the finest novels of the twenty-first century.
We also open up the conversation with some thoughts on recent presidential cabinet appointments, which are, as you might imagine...going just great!
