IMBIF Book Club 5 - A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr.

The 2024 book club continues! In this episode, we discuss A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr. This book is a classic science fiction story and a masterpiece. Miller explores a post-apocalyptic America through the eyes of an order of Catholic monks in the Utah desert. These monks try to keep the flame of knowledge alive by preserving and copying ancient manuscripts while the rest of the world emerges from brutal, tribal savagery. Mutants! Immortals! Bicephalous Tomato Women! This story has everything that might satisfy any doomsday prepper. ************************************************************************************************************* Follow me on Twitter @AaronIrber Subscribe to my Substack - https://aaronirber.substack.com/ for updates on the show, essays, and more!

Om Podcasten

This is a podcast about stories, myths and Catholicism. Stories are how we orient ourselves in the world. In Catholicism, we believe in the Greatest Story: Christ crucified and resurrected. We participate in His story through ritual worship; the liturgy. Even in the Catholic Church, these truths are often forgotten or ignored. My mission for this podcast is to explore storytelling, myths, and how these fit into Catholicism. I will cover Catholic fantasy and science fiction authors, mythology, folklore and the Catholic faith.
