Our Election Manifesto | feat. “Prophet Song” by Paul Lynch

Today’s special general election episode of the podcast considers the astonishing book by Paul Lynch, “Prophet Song”, winner of the Booker Prize, (2023). You can watch the YouTube version of this podcast here.

This is our manifesto. It has been for years. We’ve talked about it as such. It’s the song of the Bible that most of us don’t want to sing. 

But Paul Lynch’s “Prophet Song” is a book that carries with it an unregenerate prophetic quality that offers more than entertainment and lyrical prowess. Molly, especially, is a beautiful character that, were I still an English Literature student, I’d write all of my main essays about.
