094--Bookin' w/ Daniel Galera

This week, host Jason Jefferies is joined by Daniel Galera, winner of the Sao Paulo Literature Prize and one of the most celebrated and influential young authors in Brazilian literature.  Daniel is discussing his newest novel Twenty After Midnight, which is published by our friends at Penguin.  Topics of discussion include reading one's translated work (as a translator), online literary journals in the era of Internet 1.0, social media platforms as referential points in works of 'serious' literature, human behavior as it pertains to the hurried hiding of Facebook when someone is approaching, video games as a literary medium, the Marquis de Sade's 100 Days of Sodom as a TED Talk, and much more.  Copies of Twenty After Midnight can be purchased here with FREE SHIPPING.
