Oscar Wilde and J.R.R. Tolkien with Paul Fortunato
• 59 minOscar Wilde and J.R.R. Tolkien used consumer culture to create works of art. In this podcast, we try to draw some lessons from their lives. I'm joined by Paul Fortunato, an English professor at the University of Houston Downtown. Paul is also a member of Opus Dei, and the author of a book about Oscar Wilde's "consumer modernism." We discuss how Wilde and Tolkien successfully navigated the "creator economy," as well as Oscar Wilde's little-known Catholicism. ✦ Subscribe to Paul on Youtube✦ Paul's book on Oscar Wilde Other Life ✦ Subscribe to the coolest newsletter in the world https://OtherLife.co ✦ Get a free Urbit ship at https://imperceptible.computer ✦ We're building a new country at https://imperceptible.country IndieThinkers.org ✦ If you're working on independent intellectual work, join the next cohort of https://IndieThinkers.org
