In Memoriam Andrew Singer

Host Joe Williams speaks with Swedish author and journalist Marit Kapla on her book Osebol, translated by Peter Graves, which documents and aestheticizes the voices that inhabit a remote Swedish village, creating a poetic polyphony depicting a cross-section of life in rural Sweden. Includes an excerpt from the book, in English translation by Peter Graves, performed by Bailee Wolfe. Osebol has just won the 2022 Warwick University Women in Translation prize and is available in the UK from publisher Allen Lane.
