Sophie, Meagan, David, and Sorina join us for Descent Into Hell--possibly Charles Williams' most profound novel.  You can find the new audiobook by Apocryphile press here.
 
We discuss:
Quest of Hell
The apparent plotlessness of Descent
Wentworth's rejection of community
How the novel is like a play
Modernist drama
C.S. Lewis' disastrous dinner with T.S. Eliot and Williams

Vision of Death
Struther's Martyrdom
The Right and Wrong way to recite poetry
The Four Virtues of Poetry
The Mountain of Abnegnos, meeting yourself, Fellowship of the Rosy Cross, visualization techniques, and other occultic contexts for this chapter (thanks, Sorina!)
Knowing yourself and knowing love
Final Question: Adapting Descent Into Hell

Here, by the way, is the Perelandra opera.
Thanks as always to Logan Huggins for producing!
