Iceland and Love

About the program


At the heart of Jón Kalman Stefánsson‘s Fish have no feet and Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir The Greenhouse / Rosa candida, there is love. These novels have been embraced all over Europe, from north to south. Because they are exotic? Because their authors know something that only Icelanders know? Because love contrasts in a special way against the backdrop of lava and windswept moors? Hear their answers in a conversation with journalist Mats Almegård.

Time & Place: Friday, September 25 at 12.00-12.45 in H1.
