Strange Times Call for Strange Storytelling | with Dn. Nicholas Kotar
I've spoken with Dn. Nicholas Kotar a few times on this channel. He is an
Orthodox deacon, writer, storyteller and podcaster for Ancient Faith Ratio. He
recently published another book in the Raven Son series called Son of the
Deathless that's freely available on his website. In this conversation we talk
more about storytelling in our current culture and how we can approach more
traditional storytelling while living in a postmodern world. We also talk
about the new Lord of the Rings series, Rings of Power, Russian novels like
Laurus, different kinds of stories like fairy tales and myths compared with
contemporary fiction and much more. Get Dn. Nicholas' new novella (Son of the
Deathless) for free by subscribing to his website:
