LITERARY GALA

This evening intertwines the past and present in a multidimensional manifestation of the power of literature. Tonight's host, Tore Renberg, with the help of Stavanger Barokk, transports the audience back to the Baroque era of the 1600s—a world on the cusp of the Enlightenment. But how do we best describe our own contemporary society? Renberg and Swedish social commentator and author Lena Andersson will discuss this, while Vigdis Hjorth and the British author Tessa Hadley engage in conversation with Birger Emanuelsen about writing about close relationships in our own time. This is an evening of celebration you won't want to miss! The event will be in Norwegian and English.
