Episode 162: The Incarnation of Meaning: Greenwich Village After the War
b'
In this second of two episodes on "scenes," Phil and JF set their sights on Greenwich Village in the wake of the Second World War. Focusing on two works on the era \\u2013 Anatole Broyard\'s Kafka Was the Rage and John Cassavetes\' Shadows \\u2013 the conversation further develops the mystique of urban scenes and explores the weirdness of cities. The city, long considered the human artifact par excellence, comes to seem like something that comes from outside the ambit of humanity.
