About this episode

Jonathan Pageau speaks with Gregg Hurwitz about the role of Orthodox Christianity in his new novel, Antihero, and the complexities of modern storytelling.

In this conversation I speak with Gregg Hurwitz about his new Orphan X novel, Antihero, and the surprising role Orthodox Christianity plays in the story. We discuss the assassin who is forced to face mercy, the limits of violence, the exhaustion of modern storytelling, and why we may need a new kind of hero, one who can hold together justice, sacrifice, and humanity.
