Episode One Hundred and One: Sjón

In This Episode:

We head back to the FSG offices (at their new location) to sit down and chat with, the icelandic literature legend: Sjón! We chat about ghosts, mortality, storytelling, Codex 1962, and Christian Kracht’s The Dead. And somehow we didn’t manage to talk his friendship with Bjork…
