The Book Nook - E05 - The Farthest Shore Part 2

David and John are joined by their favorite Tolkien scholar, Marilyn R. Pukkila, to discuss the last part of the third book in Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea Cycle, The Farthest Shore. After recapping the plot of the Gerd and Arren's journey to the end of the world and beyond, they discuss the differences between LeGuin and Tolkien's views of death, the ego, and more. Finally, they answer listener feedback.
