Argentine Mariana Enriquez is one of the great storytellers of our time. Her novels depict the atmosphere prevailing in Argentina today, a country where the wounds from the years of the military junta are not yet healed. She writes a kind of magical realism, where elements of horror are not unusual. Her Swedish colleague, John Ajvide Lindqvist, also uses horror as a tool to portray the atmosphere of the Swedish community. Meet them in a conversation moderated by the Program Manager for the Norwegian Festival of Literature, Yukiko Duke.
