    IMBIF Bookclub 6 - The Place of the Lion by Charles Williams

    This is the final episode of the The Year of Our Lord, 2024. We are concluding this year with a bookclub discussion of The Place of the Lion  by Charles Williams. Williams was a member of the literary group, The Inklings, and friends with both C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. Prior to meeting these literary giants, Williams published The Place of the Lion and a few other stories.  In this episode, we discuss The Place of the Lion, the characters, and the “angelic/platonic” beings Williams uses. We also briefly mention the influence he had on both Lewis and Tolkien.  Enjoy! ************************************************************************************************************* Follow me on Twitter @AaronIrber Subscribe to my Substack - https://aaronirber.substack.com/ for updates on the show, essays, and more!

    Why We Hate Magic Systems (ft. Christopher Ruocchio, Nicholas Kotar, & Richard Rohlin)

    This was a really great episode! Richard Rohlin, Deacon Nicholas Kotar, and Christopher Ruocchio join the show to discuss magic in fantasy fiction. What is magic? What are magic systems? How has the portrayal of magic changed in the last several decades? How do different authors approach magic in their books? What do liturgy and poetry have to do with magic? Why do we all have a problem with modern depictions of magic? We address all of these questions and more. Hot takes abound!

    Moralizing Ovid (ft. Sarah-Jane Murray)

    Ovid was a Roman poet who wrote a 15-book catalogue that came to be known as The Metamorphosis. The stories are all based on Greek and Roman mythology and most consist in some sort of grotesque physical transformation as a result of the antics of the pagan gods. Ovid became so popular in Christian culture that there developed an entire mythographic tradition of interpretation. The culmination of this tradition is The Medieval French Ovide moralisé written by an unknown author in Medieval France. For the first time, this gigantic poem has been translated into another language (English) and I am joined by one of the translators, Sarah-Jane (SJ) Murray, to discuss Ovid, the Ovide moralisé, myth and much more. In 2023, SJ Murray started a non-profit film company, The Greats Story Lab, and are currently involved in making a film on the philosopher, Boethius.

    Hieroglyphics by Arthur Machen (ft. Christopher Tompkins)

    Christopher Tompkins (Darkly Bright Press) returns to the show to discuss the literary theories of horror author, Arthur Machen. Machen wrote about his views of literature in many places, but most extensively in his book, Hieroglyphics.

    IMBIF Book Club 5 - A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr.

    The 2024 book club continues! In this episode, we discuss A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr. This book is a classic science fiction story and a masterpiece. Miller explores a post-apocalyptic America through the eyes of an order of Catholic monks in the Utah desert. These monks try to keep the flame of knowledge alive by preserving and copying ancient manuscripts while the rest of the world emerges from brutal, tribal savagery. Mutants! Immortals! Bicephalous Tomato Women! This story has everything that might satisfy any doomsday prepper. ************************************************************************************************************* Follow me on Twitter @AaronIrber Subscribe to my Substack - https://aaronirber.substack.com/ for updates on the show, essays, and more!

    Perelandra (ft. Andrew Snyder)

    This episode is the second in a trilogy where Andrew Snyder, from The Mythic Mind Legacy Podcast, and I discuss each book in C. S. Lewis' "Ransom Trilogy." In this episode, Andrew and I discuss the second book, Perelandra. We cover multiple themes including Lewis' thoughts on pleasure, demonic possession and temptation, and Myth Becoming Fact. Sometimes, words fail and are too vague for reality. Ransom learns this lesson very well in this book.
