Author Kris Saknussemm and Jeremy Maddux forego the typical interview format in favor of celebrating literature, i.e. books Jeremy would never piss on. Also covered are Kris’ thoughts on the closing of Lazy Fascist Press, the upcoming film adaptation of his book The Humble Assessment, what it’s like to live in the jungle with natives, an unusual practice called ‘shark calling’ and the time his friend shot him with a tranquilizer dart and bailed out of the helicopter on him.
