Page of the Wind

Auri is unable to find a place to put her blanket. We talk about the illustration, including the mysterious Book of Secrets, learn why you shouldn’t make your bed, examine Jordana’s home life, compare what’s in the illustration with what’s in the prose, and indict Amazon. It’s a busy episode. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you lik...

Page 87: The Nonsense Record Auri is hurt by the world’s rudeness. We talk about if Auri has lived a mortal age, come up with a crackpot theory that’s cracked even by our standards, and we discuss again the mysterious Book of Secrets. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri gets bitten, and transports her tiny charge to the surface. We talk about the ongoing mystery of who ate the soap, the American nature of the world of Temerant as it relates to the Giant Land Skunk, and then descend into a discussion of urban wildlife in general. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend...

We're taking a short break as we round out the year. See you on February 1st 2025!

Auri saves a little critter … or does she? We talk about how Auri responds to a creature in distress, the unspoken similarities between Kvothe and Auri, and get confused about Christ - ‘tis the season, after all! @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri finds out what happened to her soap. We talk about Auri’s rage, and how it hints at a question at the core of the book. We also talk about anger more broadly - who is allowed to be angry in fiction, and how we, as a society, treat anger. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri’s soap is gone! We discuss despair, bricky niches, and heaps. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri plans her next unhappy route. We talk about Auri’s slightly premodern matches, list a few more reasons one might not want to go to Pickering, and why Auri might prefer Foxen’s light. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

The day gets a little worse as Auri runs out of soap. We talk about a particularly weird place-name, Auri’s read on Kvothe, and without Nick our remaining cohosts struggle to find things to discuss. Truly they are lost without Nick, as lambs without a shepherd. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Foxen refuses to get out of bed this morning. We talk about truculence, tenebrousness, and Nick pops in briefly sounding like a demon due to a combination of a low quality mic and being sick. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

It’s a new day, and the vibes are bad. We talk about how we handle depression days, get a little down, and talk about the candle words on the page. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

On this page, we discuss the impermanence of all things, including the written word, the meaning and anti-meaning of emptiness and silence, and the uncomfortable questions we must ask of ourselves. Is silence violence? Tune in to find out.

Auri wept. We talk about not believing reddit-brained nonsense, why Auri is weeping, and the resonances this brief chapter has. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri leaves behind something, then runs away and eats some pinecones. We talk about pine nuts, we *don’t* debate the nature of free will, and we talk about having good posture. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri plays into the belief that fairies are real. We talk about how Auri is performing fairy-ness on this page, how Auri’s actions tie into the broader themes of the Kingkiller series, and the utility of breaking rules. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri leaves behind a lace doily, and attracts some unwanted attention. We talk about how much labour used to go into making everyday objects, the relationship between humankind, fairies, and crows, and fancy butter. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri takes one of our favourite things: an inventory . We talk about an answer to one of our long-standing questions, critique the farmers’ possessions, and where laurels grow in real life. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri does what we all aspire to do: meet a sleepy dog. We talk about Auri’s Disney Princess Energy and fairylike activities, accuse the farm of being an exploitative agribusiness, and learn about Jordana’s friend who acquired a graveyard by accident.

The farmhouse is a treasure trove for sticky-fingered Auri, and we describe an illustration of a tree above a gravestone. We talk about who’s who, what the farm-denizens will learn from Auri’s visit, and discuss the use of “seemly”. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri continues to explore, and then possibly commits a fatal error! We open with a dire warning, discuss the fruit of the laurel tree, and that opens up a larger conversation about the place of trees in fantasy fiction. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri explores the land outside the University town. We issue a bashful correction, talk about how Auri externalizes her feelings onto her surroundings, Jordana makes some outlandish claims without citing her sources, and we talk about clouds. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri scampers out of the Underthing, past the foreboding walls of Haven. We talk about chilling blue lights, get seriously cracked about Auri, Denna and the Moon, @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri finds some wood in the Underthing. We talk about how and why Auri hides from the moon, the passage of time, and discuss the properties of Nutmeg. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

An illustration of where we last left Auri, sitting on a rooftop, waiting for Kvothe. Jordana analyzes the page in detail, and we talk about how the moonlight and Auri are visually connected on this page, illustration techniques for white on black, and how the artist draws our focus towards Auri. You’re also gonna hear a lot of nonsense about the printing process. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com...

Seemingly rather sadly, Auri waits. We talk about The Hollybottle, how Auri don’t need no man, and we learn too late about radium and the Radium Girls.
