About this listen

J. A. Baker's The Peregrine, at its simplest, is a poetic journal of the author's observations of peregrine falcons one winter in England, but it is perhaps better described as an aesthetic meditation on life, death, the natural world, and man's place in it. The guys discuss their experience reading this unique work of nonfiction, touching on a variety of topics including the nature and cost of genius and obsession, seeing the hidden beauty in the world, the effects of recreational drugs on the mind, fear of death, the beauty and tragedy of the natural world, and anthropomorphism and its usefulness.
