Epic Fantasy: This week Marlon and Jake venture into fantasy: the imagined worlds of dead writers—from quests and dragons to magic carpets and pregnant kings. As they dive into the works of the giants of traditional fantasy, J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, they discuss the influence both writers had on Marlon's own fantasy epic, Black Leopard, Red Wolf, which was inspired by the epic traditions of Africa and writers like D.O. Fagunwa and Amos Tutuola. They debate how reading fantasy as a child differs from reading it as an adult, wonder why there aren't more female characters, and lament how fantasy is still mostly read by boys and men. From The Hobbit to Ursula K. Le Guin, the two have some very real takes on the make-believe. So tune in. Select titles mentioned in this episode: - The Arabian Nights: Tales of 1,001 Nights - A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle - The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien - The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis - The Bloody Chamber by by Marlon and Jake Read Dead People
