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!
