About this episode

Jerzy Drozd discusses the themes of his new book with friend and advisor Marisa Szpytman, focusing on object and cultural repatriation.

The Inscrutable Doctor Baer and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue is finally available for purchase! To celebrate I’m joined by my friend, beta reader, and advisor Marisa Szpytman. It was through conversations with friends like Marisa that I discovered my book was becoming a meditation on topics surrounding object and cultural repatriation. In the earliest days of the book’s creation, she was generous in helping me understand the ethical quandaries around collecting cultural objects, and now that the book is in the world she joined me again to have that conversation anew.
