I Dream of Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles

Published: June 1, 2023, 1 p.m.


\nCoziness. Comfort. Hygge. We all enjoy it. Maybe we have a favorite comfort food, or a favorite piece of comfort media, or a favorite comfort character. And there\u2019s nothing wrong with that. Sometimes you need it. But when the pursuit of comfort takes over your entire life, and your entire worldview, your art suffers, and maybe society does too. In this episode, we\u2019re talking about why speculative fiction shouldn\u2019t get too comfortable. We are joined once again by Tai Black.
