Ep 722 - The Jungle Book, by Rudyard Kipling
Manage episode 509029718 series 74039
Rudyard Kipling's classic story collection The Jungle Book doesn't have a jazz orangutan named Louie, but it does have the bare necessities of imperialist fiction. The stories about Mowgli and other trailblazing animals all contain a whiff of "But what about the rigid hierarchy of nature?" And when every animal is personified...well...those simple bare necessities begin to reveal themselves.
Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
