Last night, I was interviewed about Running with Pirates on ABC Radio, by Rebecca Levingston.
Rebecca's response to the book was really heart-warming. She felt that the book gave the reader an adventure while at the same time prompting questions and reflections about parenting, masculinity, and how we might go about sharing stories with our children.
Her comments about the book included,
A story that reads like a fairy tale, with danger, romance, and a Greek pirate. I devoured this memoir. I opened it up in the early afternoon, and I could not put it down. ... It makes you think about your own travels and the people you've met. ... Running with Pirates will take you for a trip around the world; it will grab you by the heart and throat. It is Kári's story, but in so many ways his sons' story, as well. This memoir is a stunning adventure. Run and grab this book and read it to your sons, as well. Your daughters, too.
The full interview is available here (begins at 2:07:10).
