Join editors Samuel and Levi as they discuss the works that inform the theme of our upcoming issue of The Incidental Encyclical: ‘Troubled Seas’. Those works are Ernest Hemingway’s ‘The Old Man and the Sea’, the Anglo-Saxon poem ‘the Seafarer’, and Homer’s ‘Odyssey’. In particular, they talk here about the difficulties and the joys of writing about a work that has endured and inspired for over two millennium. Though it is a shorter episode than usual, it is still packed with deep discussion on the themes and styles contained in these three masterpieces of the written word.
