Aleksandar Hemon on THE WORLD AND ALL THAT IT HOLDS

Published: Jan. 24, 2023, 11 a.m.

\u201cAt any given time, there's a choir of ideas and nagging voices in my head \u2014 chatter that I had to contend with I guess \u2014 in the end it ends up with this model of working and living in which everything is happening simultaneously.\u201d\xa0\xa0

Aleksandar Hemon, author of National Book Award Finalist The Lazarus Project, has no shortage of accomplishments, including screenwriting credits on Sense8 and The Matrix: Revolutions. He\u2019s back with The World and All That it Holds, an epic love story spanning decades, countries, and political boundaries. Hemon joins us to talk about his multitudinous (and simultaneous) projects, his music career as Cielo Hemon, being a romantic (or not) and more with Poured Over\u2019s host, Miwa Messer. And we end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Jamie.
