Ch. 5 [The Tower of Swallows]

Discussion of The Tower of Swallows, Chapter 5 Believe it or not, there’s an interesting new bird this week. But we think it serves a larger emerging pattern – one about delicate social contracts and Thomas Hobbs’ state of nature. We also meet a guy named Fulko, who’s basically a funhouse Falka – and a gateway into a discussion on extremism. Maggie tracks Geralt’s uncomfortable relationship with omens and prophecy, trying to figure out if he still believes in destiny. Cam investigates our traveling company for ghosts and echoes of Geralt’s tortured subconscious.
