224 – Susan Barker & The Denial of Death
Manage episode 462324045 series 2977606
Tyranny is the key this week on Talking Scared this week. How fitting.
Susan Barker’s Old Soul is a globe-trotting, decade-spanning supernatural tour of autocracies, from behind the Iron Curtain to contemporary China. If that isn’t frightening enough, it also features an ageless woman who curses anyone she meets, a grand cosmic entity, and the exhilaration and terror of deep time.
Heady stuff, and Susan and I talk about all of it – and just why she likes to write about as many times and places in each book as she can.
Enjoy.
