More podcast catchup here. I have just listened to episode #10 of the superb SF Crossing the Gulf, which features Karin Tidbeck’s award-winning debut collection, Jagannath. Unsurprisingly they loved it. But, this being Ms. Burnham and Ms. Lord, they also have fascinating discussions. Highlights include the bit where Karen B. explains why happens in “Aunts” to Karen L., and the extended discussion of “Rebecka”. I note in passing that, like Ms. B., I know someone a bit like Rebecka. Thankfully I’m not the one who has to take care of her, though I worry constantly for the person who does. Also, like Ms. L., I too saw the action of “Who is Arvid Pekon?” in black and white.
Does anyone know what has happened with the Polish film of Arvid Pekon? Is there any chance we’ll be able to see it at Åcon or Finncon?
Hi Cheryl! Just thought I’d hop in and give you some info on the Arvid Pekon film. The film premiered at Gothenburg Film Festival in January, and will be screened at various film festivals in 2013. As far as I know no screenings are planned for cons, but I’ll definitely check with him. I’ve understood that where it’s screened has something to do with eligibility for various awards, but I don’t have the details.
I also loved the podcast – it’s amazing to hear others analyze one’s work and see what they take away from it. (and, I should add, I saw Arvid Pekon in sepia tones, so it seems to have transferred well)
Thank you for all your support of Jagannath. I hope I can see you again in person soon and thank you personally.
(check with him = check with Patrik Eriksson, the director)
Thanks Karin! I understand entirely about film festivals. If Patrik needs an introduction to Sci-Fi London, I can help with that. And if you can make it to Åcon, I’ll see you there,
