The very best part
I’ve finally been listening through Terry Eagleton’s 2008 Terry Lectures this week at work. His arguments are interesting, often entertaining, and more or less just what I expected. By far the most pleasantly surprising bit so far, though, as been the 11-year-old singer-songwriter who appears at the end of the third lecture for, as far as I can tell, absolutely no reason.
Update: Ah, it turns out it was Eagleton’s son, which he indicates at the end of the final lecture.
