Aleksandar Hemon on WBEZ

Here's a tantalizing interview on WBEZ's Eight Forty-Eight program with Hemon, one of my absolute favorites.

Steve Edwards: What’s next for you now, as you think about upcoming works and projects?
Hemon: Well, I’m going to write my next book. It never stops.
Edwards: Do you write every day?
Hemon: No, but I think about it every day. I write when the pressure from the inside is so strong that I cannot avoid writing, and the pressure builds up as I think about it.
Edwards: We look forward to your next work. Any idea when we’ll be able to expect that?
Hemon: Oh, in a couple of years. I don’t want to jinx it. Maybe I’ll just take a long vacation.
Edwards: Well, we hope the pressure keeps building in the meantime.
