Award-winning author Hildur Knútsdóttir visits the show to talk about her latest translated novella, Dead Weight, available in the U.S. through Tor Nightfire. She talks about hiding bodies, writing about contemporary issues in Icelandic (and world) culture, and about the need for stories of women doing what needs to be done as a form of cathartic justice.

You can find more about Hildur Knútsdóttir by visiting her website, www.hildurknutsdottir.is, and you can get Dead Weight and her other novella, The Night Guest, from Tor Nightfire at your local library or your favorite book retailer.
