The Icelandic Publisher That Prints Books Only At The Full Moon, Sells Them Only That Night, Burns The Remainders, And Calls It All A ‘Poetic Act’

WORDS Posted: June 2, 2017 4:44 am

“Why? While most books can survive centuries or even millennia, Tunglið – as its two employees tell me – ‘uses all the energy of publishing to fully charge a few hours instead of spreading it out over centuries … For one glorious evening, the book and its author are fully alive. And then, the morning after, everyone can get on with their lives.'”
