Sulle tracce del Wendigo

Disponibile sul sito web Weird Studies un interessante podcast sul weird ispirato ai grandi spazi aperti del Nord America del racconto “The Wendigo” di Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951).

I due narratori, Phil Ford e J.F. Martel, ripercorrono insieme le ispirazioni indigene e folkloristiche di questo racconto sulla natura selvaggia e misteriosa del Canada attraverso le parole dello scrittore inglese. Un viaggio, come si legge sul sito, “da ascoltare in solitudine davanti al fuoco”.

Il podcast è disponibile a questo link.

Phil Ford and J. F. Martel follows the footsteps of Algernon Blackwood’s weird mood through the vast expanses of Canadian wilderness, in this podcast about his short story “The Wendigo”, where the writer combines the beliefs of the Indigenous peoples of the Eastern Woodlands with the folktales of his native Britain. An episode “best enjoyed in solitude, by a campfire”.
