Show Notes
Continuing on Sontag's essays "On Style" (1965) and "The Death of Tragedy" (1963).
Mark, Wes, Seth and Dylan keep talking about the appropriate distance to retain (or not) to a work of art, which is supposed to be relevant to moral action in the world. We also spell out how this is relevant to our recent episodes on tragedy.
