SUMMARY:The Memory Theater by Karin Tidbeck - Nordic Book Club
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. Discussions have typically taken place the last Tuesday of the month at Scandinavia House but will now be taking place bi-weekly as an online meeting. \nBook club participants will all appear online at the start of the meeting when they log in so that they are able to take part in the conversation. For participants who would prefer not to be visible onscreen\, see an easy tutorial online here on how to set a profile image that will appear onscreen instead. \nOn November 2\, we’ll be discussing The Memory Theater by Swedish author Karin Tidbeck (Amatka; Jagannath) — discussed the novel with us this past February in a virtual panel now streaming here — out now from Pantheon Books. \nIn a world just parallel to ours exists a mystical realm known only as the Gardens. It’s a place where feasts never end\, games of croquet have devastating consequences\, and teenagers are punished for growing up. For a select group of Masters\, it’s a decadent paradise where time stands still. But for those who serve them\, it’s a slow torture where their lives can be ended in a blink. In a bid to escape before their youth betrays them\, Dora and Thistle – best friends and confidants – set out on a remarkable journey through time and space. Traveling between their world and ours\, they hunt for the one person who can grant them freedom. Along the way\, they encounter a mysterious traveler who trades in favors and never forgets debts\, a crossroads at the center of the universe\, our own world on the brink of war\, and a traveling troupe of actors with the ability to unlock the fabric of reality. \nEndlessly inventive\, The Memory Theater takes the reader to a wondrous place where destiny has yet to be written\, life is a performance\, and magic can erupt at any moment.

SUMMARY:The 2021 Sámi Film Festival: Eatnameamet – Our Silent Struggle
DESCRIPTION:This October\, the 4th Annual Sámi Film Festival explores Sámi values\, visions\, and stories through film in a must-see hybrid event taking place both in-personal and virtually! Presented as a partnership between Scandinavia House\, National Nordic Museum\, and the Pacific Sámi Searvi in Seattle from October 28-31\, the program will include a variety of contemporary Sámi documentaries\, short films\, and panel discussions with the filmmakers.  \nScreening at Scandinavia House on October 30 at 3 PM\, the feature film Eatnameamet – Our Silent Struggle will be presented with the short film Emma Elliane – Atte Munnje Sani Saji /Just Give Me the Word.  \nThe documentary Eatnameamet – Our Silent Struggle (dir. Suvi West; Finland\, 2021) explores multiple colonial acts done by the State of Finland towards the Sámi people and as well as the government’s attitude towards the Sámi. Filmmaker Suvi West looks at how these injustices are part of a bigger question about the ownership of the land\, unraveling a tangle of questions from seemingly superficial cultural appropriation to moments deciding the fate of the entire people. (74 min.) \nPreceding the feature film and filmed in the Sámi community of Guovdageaidnu\, the short music film Emma Elliane – Atte Munnje Sani Saji /Just Give Me the Word (dir. Sara Margrethe Oskal; 2017) is a performance by young Sámi artist Emma Elliane rapping in her mother tongue with a clear message to the greediness that threatens nature and people all around the world.  \nBoth films are also available for Virtual Screening from Thursday\, October 28 through Sunday\, October 31; get passes here. The feature film will follow the 1 PM presentation of Short Films featuring seven short films by Sámi filmmakers. A panel discussion will also take place; check back here for more details closer to the date. \nTickets to the in-person screening must be purchased in advance online at the link above; film screenings will take place in Victor Borge Hall. All attendees are required to present proof of vaccination upon arrival in compliance with New York State government; read more here. Attendees are required to follow all Scandinavia House safety protocols\, including wearing masks during the program and observing social distancing rules in signage. Please read our full safety protocols here. \nVirtual tickets will be available from Thursday\, October 28 through Sunday\, October 31\, with all films available for viewing on a virtual cinema screening platform throughout this period. To download viewing instructions and an FAQ\, please click here. \nSupport has been provided by the Royal Norwegian Consulate General in New York and The Consulate General of Sweden in New York\, with institutional support provided by the Pacific Sámi Searvi and International Sámi Film Institute. \nAbout the Director & Performer\nSara Margrethe Oskal started out as an actress and holds a PhD in performing Arts from Oslo National Academy of Arts\, Norway\, doing research in “Sami humor and jester tradition in yoik\, storytelling and contemporary stage expressions”. She is also an experienced screenwriter and poet and her literature is translated into multiple languages. In 2015 she made her debut as a film director with the short film Guovssahas oaidná du – Aurora Keeps an Eye on You\, which was screened in several prestigious international film festivals. Her second film Beaivvi Nieida – Daughter of the Sun was previously screened at the Sami Film Festival. \nEmma Elliane is an Indigenous Sámi artist from Guovdageaidnu\, North Norway. Growing up with traditional Sámi music and joik\, she joiks while also using traditional elements in her own contemporary music\, with lyrics in her mothertunge. After releasing her debut album Dovddut Eai Gielis/Feelings Don´t Lie she has been performing in both Sámi and International festivals. \nFinnish director Suvi West didn’t just want to tell the story of the mistreatment of Sámi people in Finland – she felt the need to tell it\, she explained to Business Doc Europe. “I felt like I didn’t have any other choice\,” she underlines of her film selected for Nordisk Panorama Documentary Competition. “This film started five years ago. The political climate had gotten so hostile\, there were a lot of decisions being made that threatened the Sámi culture and Sámi societies\,” she explains. In fact\, she was meant to be working on another project but abandoned that to make Eatnameamet. “I wanted to bring knowledge to people so they could understand the situation more\,” West explains. “In the Finnish school system\, they aren’t teaching about Sámi people\, they don’t want to deal with the history.” West calls Eatnameamet her “most openly political film”; it examines the complicated history and current relations between the Finnish government and the indigenous Sámi people. The documentary doesn’t only look at historical\, colonialist wrongs over hundreds of years\, but also examines troublesome events taking place today\, including the Finnish government working on a new law regarding the Sámi Parliament. \nSupport\nThe 3rd Annual Sámi Film Festival is presented a partnership with The National Nordic Museum in Seattle. \n \nSupport has been provided by the Royal Norwegian Consulate General in New York and The Consulate General of Sweden in New York\, with institutional support provided by the Pacific Sámi Searvi and International Sámi Film Institute.

SUMMARY:The Pastor — Virtual Book Talk With Hanne Ørstavik & Rebecca Dinerstein Knight
DESCRIPTION:On October 19\, join us to celebrate the release of the new novel The Pastor in a virtual book talk with award-winning Norwegian novelist Hanne Ørstavik! With moderator Rebecca Dinerstein Knight\, Ørstavik will discuss her gripping new release\, out that day in translation by Martin Aitken from Archipelago Books. \nLiv\, an intense and reticent theologian\, is fascinated by words and their edges and echoes\, and researches how the language of the Bible was wielded against the indigenous Sami people during the 1800s. When she moves to a bitterly cold fishing village to to work as the church’s new pastor following the death of her dearest friend\, Kristiane\, she begins planning her sermons while studying the violent interplay of Norway’s Christian colonial past. Becoming acquainted with the villagers and their private tragedies\, excavating their past and her own\, she searches for meaning from scenes such as of Sami children gathering cloudberries and figs\, from the memory of the magical weaver woman from an Astrid Lindgren fairytale she read as a child\, or in how misstep and misunderstandings can lead to isolation and pain. \nWith each new experience and confrontation\, fresh questions about scripture and empathy and who she is arise; as she wonders how “language\, in all its plasticity\, became so stiff and unbending\,” she slowly bends it back toward her\, building her own vocabulary of healing. \nMartin Aitken’s translation of this extraordinary novel rings with the brilliance and rigor of a master. \nThis event will take place as a Zoom webinar; please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. Registration is required; please sign up at the link above. \n“The various threads shuffle seamlessly in Liv’s head and build to a heartbreaking crescendo\, filled in with brilliant descriptions of the flat landscape (a church above the fjord sits “brilliantly white… on a dish of darkness”) . . . Ørstavik distinguishes herself as a leading light in international literature.”—Publishers Weekly \nAbout the Author\nHanne Ørstavik published the novel Cut in 1994 and embarked on a career that would make her one of the most remarkable and admired authors in Norwegian contemporary literature. Her literary breakthrough came three years later with the publication of Love (Kjærlighet)\, which in 2006 was voted the 6th best Norwegian book of the last 25 years in a prestigious contest in Dagbladet. Since then\, the author has written several acclaimed and much discussed novels and received a host of literary prizes. \nAbout the Moderator\nRebecca Dinerstein Knight is the author of novels Hex and The Sunlit Night\, and a bilingual English-Norwegian collection of poems\, Lofoten. Her screenplay adaptation of The Sunlit Night premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and is now a major motion picture.  \nKnight has reviewed restaurants for The Village Voice and novels for The New York Times Book Review\, and her essays have appeared online in The New Yorker\, The Paris Review\, and The New York Times\, among others. A former host of the Lillehammer Literary Festival\, she has spent a decade directing English-Norwegian creative projects.

SUMMARY:Twilight Man — Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk on October 16 with author Liz Brown on The Twilight Man: Love and Ruin in the Shadows of Hollywood and the Clark Empire! With Justine Kurland as moderator\, she’ll discuss this new novel about philanthropist and copper heir William Andrews Clark Jr. and his longtime lover Harrison Post\, out now from Penguin Books Original. This event will take place at Scandinavia House in Volvo Hall at 4 PM ET and will also be live-streamed to virtual audiences; please check back here for broadcast details closer to the date. \nIn the late 19th and early 20th centuries\, the Clark family was famous the country and world over for its vast wealth\, attained through the infamous and corrupt “Copper King of Montana” William Andrews Clark Sr. One of the most well-known men in Los Angeles in the 1920s\, his son William Andrews Clark Jr. was a generous benefactor of many of the city’s institutions\, including the LA Philharmonic\, the Hollywood Bowl\, and the UCLA Clark Library (and interred in Hollywood Forever Cemetery’s Clark Mausoleum). But he also had many secrets — namely a longtime lover named Harrison Post\, who\, until now\, was a shadowy and largely forgotten figure. \nWritten by William Andrews Clark Jr.’s great-grandniece Liz Brown through years of rigorous archival research\, Twilight Man uncovers the fascinating life of Harrison Post\, a former sales clerk whose illicit relationship with Clark ensconced him in a world of privilege and luxury from Gilded Age wealth to the early Hollywood film community — until Clark’s death in 1932\, upon which he inherited a huge fortune that was soon taken from him in a tremendous betrayal. \nUpended by the loss of his lover and livelihood\, Post spent several years in the town of Hellesylt\, Norway\, before being incarcerated under the Nazi occupation; and later continued on to Mexico City — all in search of an inheritance that would ultimately destroy him. Twilight Man is an extraordinary story of untold queer history\, love\, and legacy — how it is shaped and preserved — and the tragedy of one man’s desperation to cling to a past that could not save him. \nBrown and Kurland will discuss the novel and her discovery of Post’s story\, as well as Post’s time spent in Norway and his devotion to the country. Registration is required for attendance at Scandinavia House; sign up at the link above. Details on watching the discussion virtually will be added here closer to the date. \n“Twilight Man is biography\, romance\, and nonfiction mystery\, carrying with it the bite of fiction.” — Los Angeles Review of Books \nAbout the Author\nLiz Brown has written for Bookforum\, Elle Decor\, London Review of Books\, Los Angeles Times\, New York Times Book Review\, and other publications. She lives in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:National Danish Book Club — The Employees by Olga Ravn
DESCRIPTION:Explore a selection of Danish literature in English translation with a new nationwide virtual book club! Organized as part of the new National Danish Book Club and Literary Event Series on October 12\, we will discuss Olga Ravn’s The Employees (De anisette) translated by Martin Aitken. \nStructured as a series of witness statements compiled by a workplace commission\, The Employees follows the crew of the Six-Thousand Ship which 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. \nThe National Danish Book Club and Literary Event Series is brought to you by American-Scandinavian Foundation\, Scan Design Foundation\, Museum of Danish America\, Northwest Danish Association\, National Foundation for Danish America\, National Nordic Museum\, University of Wisconsin – Madison\, and the University of Washington Scandinavian Studies Department. \nBook Club Discussions will be moderated by Faculty Associate Nete Schmidt from the University of Wisconsin – Madison.

SUMMARY:The Dog Park by Sofi Oksanen — Virtual Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:On October 10\, join us for a virtual book talk with acclaimed Finnish-Estonian author Sofi Oksanen on her new novel The Dog Park. With moderator Bethanne Patrick\, she’ll discuss the writing of the novel\, an international bestseller out in translation by Owen Frederick Witesman from Knopf on September 21. \nA captivating story of intrigue\, betrayal\, and murder in the global fertility market from Oksanen\, “an international publishing sensation frequently likened to Stieg Larsson” (The Guardian)\, The Dog Park begins in Helsinki\, 2016. Olenka sits on a bench\, watching a family play in a dog park\, as a stranger sits down beside her. Olenka startles; she would recognize this other woman anywhere — after all\, Olenka was the one who ruined her life. And this woman may be about to do the same to Olenka. Yet\, for a fragile moment\, here they are\, together — looking at their own children being raised by other people. \nMoving seamlessly between modern-day Finland and Ukraine in the early days of its post-Soviet independence\, The Dog Park is a keenly observed\, dark\, and propulsive novel set at the intersection of East and West\, centered on a web of exploitation and the commodification of the female body. \nSofi Oksanen brings fearless psychological acuity to this captivating story about a woman unable to escape the memory of her lost child\, the ruthless powers that still hunt her\, and the lies that could well end up saving her. \nThis event will take place as a Zoom webinar; please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. Registration is required; please sign up at the link above. This event has been organized in collaboration with Politics & Prose in Washington D.C.; click here to pre-order the book. \n“A dystopian novel that seems all too real”—Kirkus Reviews \n \nAbout the Author\nSofi Oksanen is a Finnish-Estonian novelist and playwright.
