S4E123 -Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three: The Gods And Man's Desire!
On THE SHIP OF ISHTAR, by A. Merritt
Episode Notes
Oh, for a simpler time, when men were men, women were women, and everyone had PTSD from World War One. We hearken back to that time with The Ship Of Ishtar, by A. Merritt, a pulp fantasy (exactly 100 years old this year!) that may have influenced the likes of Robert E. Howard and dabbles in philosophy and mythology, as well as revealing some weird dark subconscious strains in both the author and American society in the 1920s.
