Episode 63: The End of the World as We Read it

David Grubbs moderates a discussion with Michial Farmer and Nathan Gilmour about the apocalypse, apocalyptic literature, and otherwise about the end of things. Working our way from Biblical apocalyptic to modern-day end-of-the-world stories, we focus on the assumed philosophies of history that inform each sort of apocalyptic. Among the texts, ideas, and writers we discuss are Revelation, Daniel, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Dante's Purgatory, Shakespeare's Henry V, Walker Percy's Love in the Ruins, and WALL-E.
