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: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.

SUMMARY:Awake — Virtual Book Talk With Harald Voetmann & Johanne Sorgenfri Ottosen
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk on the new novel Awake with Danish author Harald Voetmann & translator Johanne Sorgenfri Ottosen\, out in translation September 21 from New Directions! \nIn a shuttered bedroom in ancient Italy\, the sleepless Pliny the Elder lies in bed obsessively dictating new chapters of his Natural History to his slave Diocles. Fat\, wheezing\, imperious\, and prone to nosebleeds\, Pliny does not believe in spending his evenings in repose: There’s no time to waste if he is to classify every element of the natural world in a single work. By day Pliny the Elder carries out his many civic duties and gives the occasional disastrous public reading. But despite his astonishing ambition to catalog everything from precious metals to the moon\, as well as a collection of exotic plants sourced from the farthest reaches of the world\, Pliny the Elder still takes immense pleasure in the common rose. After he rushes to an erupting Mount Vesuvius and perishes in the ash\, his nephew\, Pliny the Younger\, becomes custodian of his life’s work; but where Pliny the Elder saw starlight\, Pliny the Younger only sees fireflies. \nIn today’s program\, Voetmann and Ottosen will discuss the writing and the translation of the novel with a moderator. \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“Vivid\, earthy\, by turns hilarious\, gross\, and tragic\, but always powerfully engaging. Reading and rereading this book remains a rare pleasure” —Susanna Nied \nAbout the Speakers\nNominated for the Nordic Council Prize\, the Danish author Harald Voetmann (b. 1978) has written novels\, short stories\, poetry and a monograph on the Roman poet Sulpicia. He also translates classical Latin literature\, notably Petronius and Juvenal. Awake is the first in his series of three historical novels: the second centers on the 16th-century Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe\, and the final book introduces the 11th-century German mystic Othlo of St. Emmeram. \nJohanne Sorgenfri Ottosen is a Danish translator born in 1986. She currently lives in Copenhagen where she also works as an illustrator and literary editor.

SUMMARY:Sonja — The White Swan
DESCRIPTION:On September 22\, see the story of one of the world’s greatest athletes and the inventor of modern figure skating in Sonja — The White Swan (Norway\, 2019; dir. Anne Sewitsky)! \nIn 1936\, Norwegian figure skater Sonja Henie (Ine Marie Wilmann)\, a three-time Olympic ladies’ singles champion famed worldwide for her athleticism\, decided to move to Hollywood to become a film star. Initially doubted by studio executives\, Sonja quickly proved her worth and became one of the most highly paid actresses of her time. In this biopic of the star’s journey from the ice to movie sets\, where her first film broke box office records by selling the most tickets in the world in 1937\, Norwegian director Anne Sewitsky captures the grandiose rise and fall of Sonja’s career with an intimacy that pushes beyond traditional biopic conventions\, tracking Henie’s willingness to sacrifice everything to stay in the spotlight as vanity and alcoholism threaten her downfall from the sidelines. Grounded in the sexism and double standards of the time\, Sonja — The White Swan dives under the glossy veneer of Hollywood movie magic to reveal the greed and jealousy that lie beneath its icy surface. (114 min. In Norwegian and English with English subtitles) \n“Wilmann delivers an athletic\, confident performance…even though she behaves dreadfully\, her Sonja still manages to be a sympathetic presence – occasionally”—ScreenDaily \nFilm screenings will take place as a 3 PM matinee and 7 PM evening showing.
