Episode 8 - Into Borges' Labyrinths. The Detective Novel, Part II: The Analytic Detective Faces Reality

This time we delve back into the world of the detective novel, but in a very different way, via the great Argentinian writer, Jorge Luís Borges! We read The Death and the Compass, an amazing short story, that messes around with everything we talked about last time on the Analytic Detective! It's a very fun conversation, and despite having lots of literature talk, we managed to get into politics, of course. We hope you have fun, just like we did in various labyrinths of language, together with detectives and criminals.   Stories we talked about in this episode: The Death and the Compass - http://art3idea.psu.edu/metalepsis/texts/death-compass.pdf Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius; The Aleph.   RevLeftRadio Red Hot Take: DON'T TALK TO COPS, https://revolutionaryleftradio.libsyn.com/red-hot-take-dont-talk-to-cops Coffee w/ Comrades with IAF-FAI on Decolonization, http://coffeewithcomrades.com/episode-51-decolonization-is-not-a-metaphor-ft-iaf-fai   You can find us on Twitter @leftpagepod Please support our Patreon if you're interested and want to join the Poetry Club! https://www.patreon.com/leftpage  Intro Music: All Along the Watchtower, Jimi Hendrix, Electric Ladyland, 1968 Outro Music: Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, Pink Floyd, A Saucerful of Secrets, 1968 ----------- We are a part of the Revolutionary Left Radio Federation so check them out here! @RevLeftRadio https://revolutionaryleftradio.libsyn.com/ ----------- Hosted on Acast.
