Why Excusing Evil Destroys Storytelling

This week we discuss the latest Hollywood adaptation of John Steinbeck's East of Eden and how excusing evil and sympathising with evil fundamentally hurts storytelling. We compare this adaptation to Olga Tokarczuk's masterpiece novel 'Primeval and Other Times' and how she masterfully confronts evil, while so many other modern writers run from it or worse empathise with it.
