Then in our second hour, a rebroadcast of one of our favorite conversations. Local author and translator Kyle Semmel’s debut novel, “The Book of Losman,” is officially available. The novel follows Daniel Losman, an American working as a book translator in Copenhagen who goes to great lengths to cure his Tourette syndrome. The work is fiction, but Semmel says some pieces of the story are true to his own life. This hour, we sit down with Semmel to discuss the book and his craft.
