We talk Scalped, being too ugly to write about Marilyn Monroe, Shinto, the earth being your cousin, the stories we tell our children, the brutality of interconnection, endless moral complication, Ocarina of Time, finding the thesis statement for Princess Mononoke in the Nausicaä manga, having no villains, giraffe documentaries, the powerless sadness of nature, watching our wives give birth, food bigotry, Daoist books, leading without leadership, how to make books addictive, horror writers being too scared to read a book, showing Princess Mononoke to children, A-Salt Gun, how to kill bugs, the weakness of peanut allergies, and flying with professional wrestlers.
