On Sonic Fiction – The University of Copenhagen, March 5th 2025

This is audio from my talk on the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of sonic fiction as I understand them in my own practice. I was invited to give the talk by Sheri Hellberg as a part of a course in the English department of The University of Copenhagen on non-fiction creative writing. I plan to compose some kind of text from this, but here is the improvised part of that process so far. Thanks to Sheri for the invitation and the enthusiastic attention of the students who participated in the conversation that followed.
