SUMMARY:ÆDNAN — VIRTUAL BOOK TALK WITH LINNEA AXELSSON & MATILDE AUGUSTA HUSEBY
DESCRIPTION:On February 13\, join us for a book talk with Sámi-Swedish author Linnea Axelsson on Ædnan\, her epic\, August Prize-winning multigenerational novel-in-verse about two Sámi families and their quest to stay together across a century of migration\, violence\, and colonial trauma. In coordination with our monthly Nordic Book Club Online\, which will discuss Ædnan later today at 6 PM\, the author will be joined by moderator Matilde Augusta Huseby for a virtual talk about the writing of the novel. \nIn Northern Sámi\, the word Ædnan means the land\, the earth\, and my mother. These are all crucial forces within the lives of the Indigenous families that animate this groundbreaking book: an astonishing verse novel that chronicles a hundred years of change\, beginning with in the 1910s as Ristin and her family migrate their herd of reindeer to summer grounds. When they are forced to separate due to the newly formed border between Sweden and Norway\, Ristin loses one of her sons in an accident\, leaving her struggling to manage her family and community as a result. \nIn the 1970s\, Lise\, as part of a new generation of Sámi grappling with questions of identity and inheritance\, reflects on her traumatic childhood\, when she was forced to leave her parents and was placed in a Nomad School to be stripped of the language of her ancestors. Finally\, in the 2010s we meet Lise’s daughter\, Sandra\, an activist fighting for reparations in a highly publicized land rights trial\, in a time when the Sámi language is all but lost. Weaving together the voices of half a dozen characters\, from elders to young people unsure of their heritage\, Ædnan is a powerful reminder of how durable language can be\, even when it is borrowed — especially when it has to hold what no longer remains. \n\n\n\n“An epic poem\, much honored in Sweden since its publication in 2018\, that charts the fortunes of a Sámi community against opposing nationalisms… A sharp-edged tale in verse of colonial suppression\, resistance\, and survival” (Kirkus Reviews).
