Meet the award-winning author Jesper Wung-Sung in an intimate conversation about his latest novel "Sandøs Rose" — an artistic reinterpretation of Martin A. Hansen's classic work "The Liar" from 1950. Wung-Sung gives Annmari, the beloved daughter who originally appears in "The Liar", her own voice and narrative perspective. The result is a modern, deeply human reinterpretation of a Danish literary classic.
