The Dead by James Joyce

In this episode, Jordan and Brendan discuss our thought-tormented age, early 20th century Irish politics, the polarizing Modernist legacy of James Joyce, the magic of Thin Places, the tension between a blaze of passion and a life of long fidelity, and whether or not it’s ok to bake a little baby Jesus into your King Cake for this year’s Epiphany Feast.   Mentioned in this episode:   In Defense of Sanity by GK Chesterton Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John Le Carre You Are not Your Own by Alan Noble  Thin Places Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy “This is Water” by David Foster Wallace
