Episode 670 – Sven Birkerts
About this episode
Gil Roth and Sven Birkerts discuss writing, art, technology, and the experience of bookselling.
Virtual Memories Show 670: Sven Birkerts Essayist Sven Birkerts , one of my favorite past pod-guests, welcomes me back to the mic for a conversation about writing, art, mortality, resistance, technology, and selling rare books! We talk about what he’s learned about writing from his Substack essay-experiment, how he rediscovered his bookselling persona with his daughter, what he gets from audiobooks, the pros and cons of knowing your audience, and more. Plus, I talk about my book-in-progress , what I’ve learned from stepping back from the weekly podcast routine, why I’d like to see Dylan play one more time before one or the other of us is gone, and where this podcast might be going, among other stuff. Give it a listen! And go subscribe to his Substack and read The Miró Worm and the Mysteries of Writing (along with his other essays and books)! (And go listen to our 2017 , 2020 , 2021 , and 2024 conversations!) Enjoy the conversation! Then check out the archives for more great episodes!
