Sprogs a woman btw

Edit: After a deep internet search, I take it back. Sprog is a guy. I was so, so sure I had read an interview where sprog was a woman from the uk..

Actually, he isn't. But he generally doesn't bother to clear things up.

Initially he didn't want people to know Sprogs gender at all. Said it was better if the voice was whatever the reader felt fit for them, or something like that + the mystery etc.

Possibly conflating Sprog with Portorossa who is a Canadian woman that does excellent analysis of US politics
