Burgess calling on St. Augustine vs Pelagius is so brilliant. The Wanting Seed is a phenomenal book and this question about the morality of mankind will forever be debated!
Yes, it is Swedish. You can google interviews with Don Bartlett (for example the one in the LA Review of Books - it has open access). He is a brilliant translator from all three Scandinavian languages to English. Interesting thoughts.

Both very great writers, both with a genius.
Excellent. Captures a moment in time of two brilliant writers.
Wonderful guests , admirable interviewer..
