What a great video! JAL is a genuine character. The eyes on the eyelids were a nice, creepy touch. I didn't understand much but I definetly heard Oskar and Eli near the end.

Ha! They sent that video to me this morning. I was waiting to hear back from them when I could post it, but I guess having it show up at YouTube tells me that it's okay. The full res version can be found on my web site here.
...the story derives a lot of its appeal from its sense of despair and a darkness in which the love of Eli and Oskar seems to shine with a strange and disturbing light.

Makes me want to read his book :) The style is so distinctive even if the videos from him and his wife are so different!

You know a video is good when you can't understand the words and you still think it's funny. :lol:

Now...someone correct me if I've got this wrong: When the short story "Let The Old Dreams Die" is published in Sweden, in Swedish of course, it will be in a book (of short stories) of the same name. BUT, when it's published in English, it will be included in the book of short stories titled "Paper Walls." Do I have that right? ::feeling confused::
