Viðburðurinum var streymt rafrænt á vefsvæði Scaninavia House en upptöku af viðburðinum er nú hægt að nálgast á YouTube-rás þeirra.

STANFORDS TRAVEL PODCAST – THE BOOK OF REYKJAVIK
Recently, Fríða Ísberg and I spoke with West Camel from Orenda Books for the Stanfords Travel Podcast about Comma Press‘s Book of Reykjavík, a new English language collection of Icelandic short fiction. Fríða and I read from our stories in the collection and chatted about various literary traditions and clichés in Iceland in general and about the literary landscapes of Reykjavík.
