Ep. 24: The Bride Price and criticism

What is fact and what is truth and how does this all come together at a highland wedding in Papua New Guinea? Join my conversation with Dr. Erwin Warkentin

In Episode 24, we wander around Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea in the early 1980s and drop into an unusual wedding in the highlands where modernity meets tradition.

I invite Dr. Erwin Warkentin, retired professor and (not-retired) literary critic onto the show to both read my autobiographic story and discuss.

The above picture is a pictograph from Papua New Guinea that hangs on my my brother’s wall in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Another memory from that time period.
