"The Voice of Reason 2" & "A Grain of Truth"
Come for the vampires and the silver sword, stay for allusions to classic American literature and brutal refutation of Pascal's wager. Sapkowski is a master of pacing and pivots, and this story was just a joy for us to read. We discuss the story's quiet, pointed navigation of faith, hope, "monsters" and humanity - and the terrible difficulty of living your principles. There are also some fascinating technical moments where Sapkowski restricts the reader's view and understanding of a situation, feeding us piecemeal provocations and brilliantly guiding / engaging our imaginations. The execution of this story is as fruitful as its messaging, and we get into all of it!
