SUMMARY:Collected Works
DESCRIPTION:This January\, join us for a virtual book talk with Swedish author and psychologist Lydia Sandgren on her new book Collected Works. With moderator Emily Temple\, she’ll discuss her compelling mystery and poignant bildungsroman about love\, power\, and art—and what leads us to make the pivotal decisions that change the course of our lives. \nMartin Berg’s wife\, Cecilia\, disappeared years ago. His memories of their carefree college days seem ever out of reach\, and the intellectual curiosities that once made him the object of her desire have given way to midlife uncertainty. The methodical and quiet life he’s made for himself and his adult children couldn’t be further from the one he dreamed of in his youth\, when the manuscripts lying around his apartment were flush with promise and his ailing publishing house was still new. \nPerhaps nothing reminds Martin of these failures more than his friend Gustav Becker\, a wildly successful painter who’s returned to Gothenburg on the eve of his career-defining retrospective. Gustav\, meanwhile\, is hurting too. His obsession with Cecilia’s inexplicable disappearance had made his art hagiographic\, fixated on her image. \nWhen posters for Gustav’s retrospective plaster Cecilia’s face on major billboards across the city\, Martin’s daughter Rakel learns a haunting fact that points toward her mother’s whereabouts. She and her brother chase this clue across time\, memory\, and Europe to discover why Cecilia abandoned her family\, with the imagined hope that the question of what makes a person leave can ever be answered. \nRegistration is required. Please sign up at the link above. This event will take place as a Zoom webinar. Please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. \n“[A] sweeping and complex drama of family\, art\, and sacrifice . . . Readers will be captivated.” —Publishers Weekly  \n“A richly evocative work from a major new talent.” —Kirkus Reviews  \nAbout the Author\nLydia Sandgren is a trained psychologist and lives in Gothenburg\, Sweden. Collected Works is her debut novel. \nAbout the Moderator\nEmily Temple is the author of The Lightness (William Morrow\, 2020) and the Managing Editor at Literary Hub. She earned an MFA in fiction from the University of Virginia\, where she was the recipient of a Henfield Prize. She lives with her husband and daughter in upstate New York.

SUMMARY:The Fantastic Art of Paper-Cutting
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand\, celebrated Danish paper-cutting artist Torben Jarlstrøm Clausen returns for a workshop on creating wonderful paper-cut beings! Clausen\, who has held paper-cutting workshops in Denmark\, Japan and the U.S.\, has created a magical paper-cut universe inhabited by beings previously confined inside the paper. “I can sense that the beings are in the paper\, but at the same time they are sad. After some help from the scissors\, they travel around happily in our diverse world\,” Clausen explains of his artwork. \nIn this online workshop held via Zoom\, Clausen will share his techniques and guide viewers through creating their own paper-cut magic. Participants will also explore the paper-cut artwork of renowned storyteller Hans Christian Andersen\, and hear about Clausen’s own journey to becoming a paper-cutting artist. The class will be limited to 30 participants to allow for audience interaction. \nThe class will take place as virtual instruction over Zoom; students should supply their own materials to cut alongside Clausen. Skill is beginner-level and above. \nMaterials: \n\nSharp pair of scissors\nFive pieces of any color paper sized approximately 4 x 4 inches (approximately the thickness of printer paper)\nFive pieces of any color paper sized approximately 1 x 2 inches\nAdditional paper to use as needed\n\nAbout the Instructor\nTorben Jarlstrøm Clausen started as a paper-cut artist in 2004. Since then\, he has exhibited over 110 places in the U.S.\, Japan\, and Denmark and has held numerous workshops in the same countries.Clausen lives in Odense\, Denmark\, which is the birthplace of world-famous fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen\, who was also a very skilled paper-cut artist. Torben Jarlstrøm Clausen seeks with his paper cuts to maintain and renew this old paper cut tradition\, which Hans Christian Andersen was an exponent of almost 200 years ago.

SUMMARY:The Employees by Olga Ravn
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss Scandinavian literature in translation as part of our Nordic Book Club\, now online! Each month we select a novel from some of the best Nordic literary voices. On January 10\, we’ll be discussing The Employees by Olga Ravn\, who discussed the novel with us in May 2021 with translator Martin Aitken. \nIn the near-distant future\, millions of kilometers from Earth\, the crew of the Six-Thousand Ship consists of those who were born\, and those who were made; those who will die\, and those who will not. When the ship takes on a number of strange objects from the planet New Discovery\, the crew is perplexed to find itself becoming deeply attached to them\, and human and humanoid employees alike start aching for the same things: warmth and intimacy; loved ones who have passed; shopping and child-rearing; our shared\, far-away Earth\, which now only persists in memory. \nGradually\, the crew members come to see their work in a new light\, and each employee is compelled to ask themselves whether they can carry on as before – and what it means to be truly living. \nStructured as a series of witness statements compiled by a workplace commission\, Ravn’s crackling prose is as chilling as it is moving\, as exhilarating as it is foreboding. Wracked by all kinds of longing\, The Employees probes into what it means to be human\, emotionally and ontologically\, while simultaneously delivering an overdue critique of a life governed by work and the logic of productivity. \n“A powerful and philosophical sci-fi experiment from a near-distant future\, exploring what it means to be human and alive.”– Børsen \nAbout the Author\nOlga Ravn (b. 1986) is a Danish novelist and poet. Her novel Celestine appeared to critical acclaim in 2015. She is also a literary critic and has written for Politiken and several other Danish publications. Alongside Johanne Lykke Holm\, she runs the feminist performance group and writing school Hekseskolen.
