David and John are joined by their favorite Tolkien scholar, Marilyn R. Pukkila, to discuss the first five chapters of the third book in Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea Cycle, The Farthest Shore. After recapping the plot of the book's introduction, they discuss the traces of Daoism, patriarchy, and Vietnam War-era politics in the story. Finally, they answer listener feedback.
