A Meal of Thorns 53- TINY DEATHS with Ian Mond

Critic & reviewer Ian Mond talks us through Tiny Deaths, a very funny and frequently morbid collection. We also think bigger: about the place and status of humor and seriousness in genre literature, and why non-genre imprints and translated literature might be places to look for this energy.

Podcasts, reviews, interviews, essays, and more at the Ancillary Review of Books.
