When we spoke, he was based out of Sydney, Australia, but he never stays in one place for long! We spoke about his next big project, favourite places, and of course, the impact of Covid-19. A.N. Higgins: Girar is a global streaming novel that will take place in 365 locations around the world over the course of the next decade. Could you tell me a bit more about the novel? Where did the first glimmer of the idea for this project come from?
