The Norwegian Festival of Literature is the largest of its kind in the Nordic countries, with a diverse program catering to readers of all ages. This spring it is not possible to meet in the city of Lillehammer as usual, but instead we are inviting to a digital edition. We guarantee words that will move you and experiences that will take you a step further.
“Ideally, the Literature Festival should take place there, in Lillehammer. [it is a] scary and annoying challenge to recreate and renew the magic of Lillehammer in NRK’s studios this special year. It will be an unparalleled literary event in both the history of the country and broadcasting.” – NRK host Hans Olav Brenner
