Lockdown Reading, Part Two

In this "Cutaway" episode, Jeffrey Overstreet continues to "unpack" (to borrow a word popular with pastors) the package of books he received from Eighth Day Books for attention during these months of "sheltering at home." Here, he takes a deep dive into Alan Jacobs' Breaking Bread With the Dead, and also considers Eric Gill's Beauty Will Look After Itself and Michael Dirda's Bound to Please. This is part two of a two-part reflection on readings for a time of pandemic isolation.
