The Giant

Purity & Danger by Sylvie & Dora

Episode notes

Donald Barthelme’s incontinent colossal father and Giulio Romano’s tempestuous sons of Gaia both crash to earth in narratives of giant vanquishing. Sylvie and Dora explore giants in their various guises — the bellicose, the libidinous, the grotesque, the innocent and the divine — and defend the honour of each.
