Insomniacs, Alsace Lorraine
Inspiration strikes in the dead of night. A coffee-fueled Kurt pays a midnight visit to filmmaker Alan Berliner, whose documentary about insomnia airs next week on HBO. We’ll hear why novelist Sherman Alexie compares his insomnia to a bad romance. Plus, indie-pop act Alsace Lorraine — featuring an American priest and an Argentine illustrator who made their gorgeous new record without ever meeting face to face.
