#98: Cinematic Storytelling: The Land of Nod
The Cru discuss why show vs. tell has particular resonance for a reading public geared toward visual storytelling. Stories begin around the 14:20 mark and include a tale of Cain; a stroll through the mist; and a fantastical rebirth.
From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable:
Land of Nod, The. This was the desolate land to which CAIN was exiled after he had slain ABEL (Genesis 4:16). Jonathan Swift, in A Complete Collection of Genteel and Ingenious Conversation (1738), said that he was 'going into the land of Nod', meaning that he was going to sleep, which meaning it has retained ever since.
