Heads up! Spotify integration should be fully up and running now. Sorry for the delay. If you want access to this Patreon feed directly in your Spotify app you can now just navigate through settings, push a button, and it will be there.

New episode:

Today we talk about Camus' book The Fall and what the main character represents in his larger project. We also talk about someone Camus deeply admired, Franz Kafka, and how to think of the images he created in his work. We talk about the experience of the modern individual in relation to politics. We also talk about what Camus and Kafka disagreed on. Hope you love it. :)

I'm a little behind on messages. Looking forward to getting caught up! Thanks for your patience there as well. Talk soon!

Your discussion of Kafka as a bridge between Dostoevsky and Camus was incredibly insightful and helpful. Have you ever considered doing an episode on Samuel Beckett? He seems like a natural next step in that lineage, really pushing the absurd to its limits
