It's time again for that novel-est of novelists, Charles Williams!
Feel free to read Descent Into Hell here (there's a new audiobook by the way.)
Meagan, Chris, Sophie Burkhardt, and David L. Carter discuss Charles Williams' Descent Into Hell, Chapters 1-2!
They discuss...
Chapter 1: The Magus Zoroaster
(In which Pauline Anstruther, who has a bit part in that new Peter Stanhope play Battle Hill is putting on, meets her own image walking toward her on the way home.)
Diana Pavlac Glyer's The Company They Keep
Williams' plays including Judgement at Chelmsford, and T.S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral.  
"A Terrible Good": Can goodness be terrible?
Plays and plot cohesion
Pastorals and Woodland Tree Spirits

Chapter 2: Via Mortis
(In which a nameless construction worker, some time ago, killed himself to get back at the world, only to find that he still exists, and maybe wanders unsteadily toward redemption.)
Mostly plot summary here
Potential purposeless of an immortal existence (Queen song from Highlander reprise)

That's it for now!

Thanks, as always, to Logan Huggins for making us sound better than we normally would!  I wish I had him around to edit what I say in real time.
 
Next week: Sorina Higgins joins us to discuss Chapters 3-4!
