Former mayor of Reykjavík, comedian Jón Gnarr, is currently living in Houston, Texas, serving as the first Rice University’s Centre for Energy and Environmental Research in the Human Sciences (CENHS) writer-in-residence.
Jón moved to the States with his family at the beginning of the year and in a new interview with Houstonia Magazine he explains he was expecting a different kind of city than he encountered.
“I expected Houston to be more macho, you know? More cowboy. More gun shows. I was expecting to see this J.R. [Ewing] type of male.”
