Tune in for Literature Live Around the World

A true Bergener – both proud of and spiteful about his city – is author Tomas Espedal, who has written extensively about Bergen life and rain. Author Karl Ove Knausgård lived in Bergen for many years and will read from his latest novel Morgenstjernen (The Morning Star), which is partly set in the city. On stage are also Sámi author Kathrine Nedrejord and musician Sara Marielle Gaup. The Sámi, Norway’s indigenous population, were at one time forcibly assimilated into Norwegian life, language, culture and literature, but a new generation of them is no longer either ashamed or silent about their ancestry. Hosts are TV and radio journalists Siss Vik and Mona B Riise, who will also chat with festival director Teresa Grøtan about the Literature Live Around the World programme.

How to Organize a Dozen Global Literary Festivals All at Once

at Once
Norway's LitFestBergen
February 11, 2021
One afternoon back in September, when I was lockdown-weary and stir-crazy, an unexpected opportunity to be part of a Great Literary Escape showed up in my inbox. “I’m writing to invite you to a collaboration involving 12 literary festivals/scenes/houses around the world,” read the email from Teresa Grøtan, a name new to me.
What a lucky day. Norway’s LitFestBergen, directed by Teresa and produced out of the Bergen House of Literature, was organizing a hugely ambitious international collaboration called Literature Live Around the World, involving 12 global lit fests. As Teresa explained, each fest would produce an hourlong program featuring literary luminaries from their respective corners of the world, with the entire event running for 12 hours straight, noon to midnight Norway time, on Friday, February 12, 2021. The whole extravaganza will livestream on partner websites, and a recording will be edited, chaptered, and available to view on some sites, including BABF’s, until Feb. 22.
