Cameron has read Eugene Vodolazkin's novel Laurus twice already, while Mark hasn't managed to get past the first fifty pages. In this episode, they compare notes on the book, sharing what resonated (and what didn't). They also discuss the relationship of a writer's theology to his fiction, and talk about how reading someone else's attempt to theologize in prose can shape one's own efforts.

Eugene wrote the amazing and highly recommended novel, Laurus. Laurus won the National Big Book Award and the Yasnaya Polyana Award and was shortlisted for the National Bestseller Prize, the Russian Booker Prize and the New Literature Award. It has been translated into eighteen languages. Set in the fifteenth century, it's remarkable at transporting the reader to medieval thinking and an enchanted vision of Christianity, paving the way for good Christian storytelling. In this interview Eugene and I discuss how the perceptions of time and transcendence differed for ancient people compared to today, we talk about how history was viewed in the Middle Ages and the natural connections with the pagan traditions that historically preceded Christianity. We also discuss modern storytelling like that of J.R.R. Tolkien and J.K. Rowling, the magnitude of Scripture and avoiding creating propaganda.

This month, the regulars welcome Chase as they discuss Laurus, a novel by Russian author Eugene Vodolazkin. The book follows Laurus, a traveling healer and penitent who is desperate to make up for the unjust death of his lover who he allowed to die unshriven and without communion. It is about life, death, and the timelessness of God's mercy and our cooperation with it.The conversations surround translations (a specialty of Chase) and the themes of time, death, life, and the sacramentality of the human experience. We were also blessed with a special treat as Christine was able to interview Mr. Vodolazkin himself. Drink of the day: Brandy in honor of the Whiskey Priest's preference in Graham Greene's classic.Make sure to follow us on Twitter @returnbypodcast to vote/find out what the next read is!

Alfred Molina plays artist Mark Rothko in Red at London's Wyndham's Theatre Ian McEwan has adapted his own novel On Chesil Beach for the big screen, starring Saoirse Ronan and Billy Howle as newlyweds whose wedding night nuptials are complicated by memories and misunderstandings The story of the scandal of 1970s Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe and his apparent homosexual affair with male model Norman Scott is now a TV series starring Hugh Grant. A Very English Scandal is written by Russell T Davis and directed by Stephen Frears. The Aviator by Russian author Eugene Vodolazkin has been translated into 14 languages and won a slew of literary prizes; how old is the central character? does his extraordinary memory have something to do with cryogenic suspension? There's a new exhibition at The Welcome Collection in London looking at all things dental- will it set our reviewers' teeth on edge or make them smile? Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Blake Morrison, Elizabeth Day and Charlotte Mullins. The producer is Oliver Jones.
