Benjamín Labatut on Literature and Science

"Writing should give access to the world." | Writer Benjamín Labatut | Louisiana Channel

“I think of literature as a science that really cares about experiments, you can consider the wildest ideas, and you can play with theories that are wrong, that are delirious and insane.” Chilean novelist Benjamín Labatut, author of When We Cease to Understand the World (New York Review of Books, 2021), translated from the Spanish by Adrian Nathan West, speaks with his Danish translator Peter Adolphsen for this Louisiana Channel interview.
