Eliot Weinberger - An Elemental Thing (An After Dark Podcast!)


Listen Later

"In the Aztec empire, every fifty-two years, once in an average lifetime, the world was on the verge of coming to an end. The sun would no longer move, night would be eternal, and man-eating demons would descend to rule the earth." - Eliot Weinberger

"In Kingwood, Texas, one afternoon in 2008, a woman and her dog Henry took a walk around their blistering neighborhood. A trio of preteen boys shouted a question at the woman: "Why are you so ugly?", and the woman now regrets not having released her man-eating demon to exact revenge on the little creeps." - Robyn O'Neil
