The main task of Just FYI Pod: Culture’s second season is to discuss "Ten Novels That Changed Our Lives." On today's episode, my cohost Amy Welborn and I resume our countdown—this time focusing on the #6 novel on our respective lists. I kick things off with an examination of Walter M. Miller's post-apocalyptic sci-fi classic A Canticle for Leibowitz (1959). Next, Amy explores J.F. Powers' debut novel Morte D’Urban (1962). Both books explore the tension between church and society, albeit in different styles and tones, and in wildly disparate settings.
