Conversation with Writer Alex Klaushofer

In this episode I talk to Alex Klaushofer, a great essayist on culture, authoritarianism and the lockdowns. Alex Klaushofer is a British writer newly-based in Lisbon. Her books are a blend of travel writing, reportage and one or two other genres. She’s fascinated by the relationship between people and places and is currently working on a book about Europe through the lens of three of its lesser-known cities.
