Link to the Show / Show NotesThis week a final look at Sontag's first novel, The Benefactor. How does the benefactor relate to Voltaire's Candide and what can we learn from both? How do we balance thinking and action in our daily lives? Also a relief from the masturbatory descent into the mind of Hippolyte by way of the poetry of T.S. Eliot and Rumi.
And on a final joyous note: rethinking the chocolate chip cookie.
