JDO returns and we chat about the magpie's feathers, Martin Shaw and Paul Kingsnorth, the craft of writing and storytelling, story itself, the wisdom that comes with age, ideological capture, self-importance as a boon to good music and a bane to writing, and much more.
J David Osborne is a prolific independent author who treats his craft with an animistic respect, allowing agency for stories and the spirits who inspire them. His recent novel Berserker Club blends animism, pulp, humor, and sincerity into a hyper-violent yet contemplative page-turner and ties it all up with a shamanistic bow.
