\u201dListening in public\u201d is back after a six year hiatus! It is a series of tiny posts originally published in a blog of the same name, with John Kannenberg. The idea was to laconically write down things we overheard while walking, commuting, spending time in space that would be understood as \u201cpublic\u201d. Or as the blurb said: \u201cConversations overheard by two people in different countries\u201d. For me these are beginnings of mundane stories that feed my imagination. What ever are the situations or histories that are behind these small conversations, it\u2019s up to you to imagine. They are written as verbatim as possible even thought they are translated into English (with variable success).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
