Revisit: David James Duncan - Sun House

from Nature Revisited Hosted by Noorden Productions

David James Duncan is an American novelist and essayist, known for his two cult bestselling novels, The River Why and The Brothers K, among others. On this episode of Nature Revisited, farmer and author Scott Chaskey (Soil and Spirit) interviews David about his latest acclaimed work Sun House, an "epic comedy about the quest for transcendence in an anything-but-transcendent America, set amid the gorgeous landscapes of the American west". Guided by Chaskey's deft observations, Duncan describes how a lifetime of experiences - many drawn from nature itself - served as inspiration for Sun House's sweeping, lyrical vision of a more open-hearted world.

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans. We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
