BiblioFiles #110: Living in Light of Death

We like to discuss the great ideas of literature, but what do we do when those abstractions fail to hold up to real life problems–even when the abstractions are true? In this episode, the CenterForLit crew discuss Timothy Keller’s article in The Atlantic on facing his own death. We put him in conversation with other thinkers, and reflect on how their ideas hold up in the face of mortality.

– The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy
