Fingerprints of Robert Farrar Capon

Here’s one from deep in our archives: a recording of a conversation Jamie Howison shared with Robert Farrar Capon in the year 2000 in the Capon home on Shelter Island, New York. There's a backstory to how Jamie ended up visiting with the Capons, which you'll hear on the podcast. It was actually the first of two visits to Shelter Island, the second one in 2004 producing a manuscript of interview material that will soon be excepted and published online by the good folks at Mockingbird. We'd encourage you to take a look at the Mockingbird site, and also at the special audio post they have of Capon's unique take on the parable of the Prodigal.

You can also watch this video engagement of Capon’s classic book, The Supper of the Lamb, offered by Jessica Hooten Wilson on her YouTube channel. She discovered the book over the course of the pandemic… but she really gets what Robert is about.
