Interview on Mytomania
I had a nice talk to journalist Sofia Nyblom for Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter (DN), on Mytomania.
The articles highlights the ”mythomaniac phenomenon” in our society, my own relation to the topic, and a bit about my background.
Journalist Johanna Paulsson says Mytomania is a ”must see”.
Hope you will enjoy reading.
