The Book Nook - E02 - A Wizard of Earthsea Part 2

David and John are joined by their favorite Tolkien scholar, Marilyn R. Pukkila, to discuss the second half of the 1968 Ursula K. LeGuin book, A Wizard of Earthsea, the first book in The Earthsea Cycle. While recapping Ged's pursuit of his shadow and journey to unknown lands, the trio breaks down the themes of trust, friendship, and knowing thyself contained in this foundational work of the fantasy literature canon. Finally, they answer listener feedback.
