This week, Chad W. Post and Kaija Straumanis talk with Philip Graham — a co-founder and current nonfiction editor of Ninth Letter<\/em>, author of several books, including The Moon, Come to Earth:Dispatches from Lisbon<\/em>,<\/a> — about Portuguese culture and literature, specifically the works of Gon\u00e7alo Tavares, whose book The Neighborhood<\/em><\/a> is coming out this month with Philip’s introduction. (Which will appear here on Three Percent in the near future.)<\/p>\n

There’s a lot of references included in the podcast this week, the main ones being to Sintra,<\/a> an amazing town just outside of Lisbon that was once the playground of the aristocracy. It’s LOADED<\/span> with castles and palaces and other intriguing estates. <\/p>\n

The main stop is the Pena Palace<\/a> which looks a little something like this:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yes, this is a real place. <\/p>\n

The part of Sintra I’m most obsessed with though is the Quinta de Regaleira,<\/a> which you should really read about because it’s got all the intrigue AND<\/span> underground tunnels that end in an “Initiation Well”:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anyway, enjoy this podcast—I think it’s one of the best we’ve done.<\/p>\n

And this week’s music is the suspension-building Intro<\/a> by The xx.<\/p>\n
