This week, Chris and Anika discuss Chapters 12 and 13 of Till We Have Faces. Subjects for discussion include:
- Santeria and the First Amendment (and also, of course, "Santeria" by Sublime)
- How Orual-the-author is being changed while telling us about Orual-the-character's refusal to change
- Possessive love and our tendency to be ruined by strong loves
- The "ferly" in Middle English literature
- Is Bardia's fear of the gods practical fear for his safety or fear of the numinous?
- Orual withholds key evidence!
- The Fox's theology and soul-houses
- How true divine nature is foolishness to the Greek and a stumbling block for the Glomian
- At the end: Various proposals for an '80s fantasy movie based on Till We Have Faces. (Someone please make a poster of this idea.)
Special thanks to my brother Jason Pipkin for the incredible '80s-style synth track used at the end! Apologies if I overuse it, but I really liked it. Other music sampled includes:
- "Our Father" in Aramaic
- "The Hurrian Hymn" as played by Michael Levy
- "Santeria," by Sublime
- "Princes of the Universe," by Queen
- "Quantum Leap" theme by Mike Post
In two weeks, we meet the God of the Mountain! Talk about numinous and sublime!
