Michael Ende’s famous novel explores the nature of storytelling
and the value of reading books all while wrapped up in a
meta-exploration of a surrealist fantasy adventure written for
children. This book goes way beyond where Wolfgang Peterson’s
iconic adaptation, exploring what it means to literally lose
yourself in a story. In episode 191, Luke & James open the book and
fall into the world of Fantastica to relieve some of the adventures
of their childhood, discuss Michael Ende’s life, and become good
friends with Falkor and Atreyu.
And join them next week when they discuss the cult-classic film
adaptation!
