The new season of the Two Month Review kicks off with a pretty wide-ranging discussion. Sure, there is a bit about Sjón (pronounced SYOHN, which is not how Chad says it) and a few things about his earlier books and CoDex 1962, but a good part of this introductory episode is about patterns in narrative, cinematic realism, the imaginative nature of international literature, boxes and small rooms, Game of Thrones, and Iceland. As always, you can watch these episodes live on our YouTube channel the day before they’re released in podcast form. The next episode will focus on pages 1-57 (chapters 1-6 of "Thine Eyes Did See My Substance: A Love Story") and will be an audio only release. (Chad's graduate students will be the guests.) Follow Open Letter, Chad Post, and Brian Wood for more thoughts on Sjón and literature in general, and for information about upcoming guests. You can find all the Two Month Review posts by clicking here. And be sure to leave us a review on iTunes. It really helps people to discover the podcast. Order a copy of Brian's book, Joytime Killbox from BOA Editions. This is a public episode.
