Episode Synopsis
Send us a textThis episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Yeerk to chat about Italo Calvino's final novel, Mr Palomar.We talk about Yeerk's battles against people who believe in "misinformation" and "AI art", humanism, encountering the world as it is and describing it, Italo Calvino's work more generally, looking at art and literature texturally, and the sense of the numinous writers like Calvino can bring to everyday existence.And over on Back Matter on Patreon, we will be discussing the Ron Fricke non-narrative documentary film, Samsara as a companion piece to discussion of this novel.
