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. She has received numerous prizes for her work\, including the Swedish Academy Nordic Prize\, the Prix Femina Étranger\, the Budapest Grand Prize\, the European Book Prize\, and the Nordic Council Literature Prize. She lives in Helsinki. \nAbout the Moderator\nBethanne Patrick is a writer and book critic whose work appears frequently in The Washington Post\, The Los Angeles Times\, The Boston Globe\, and many others.

SUMMARY:One Last Deal /Tuntematon mestari
DESCRIPTION:On October 6\, see the hit new Finnish art mystery and redemption thriller One Last Deal (Finland\, 2019; dir. Klaus Härö) in New Nordic Cinema at Scandinavia House! \nElderly art dealer Olavi (Heikki Nousiainenis) has always put business and art before everything – even his family – and on the brink of retirement\, cannot imagine life without work. When an old painting at auction catches his attention\, Olavi suspects that it’s worth much more than starting price\, and decides to make one last deal in order to earn some proper pension money. With his teenage grandson Otto — the son of his long-estranged daughter Lea — he begins an investigation into the history of the painting\,  securing it at a much lower price than its true value. But when the auction house realizes the error\, he must face both them and his own past mistakes to leave the art scene as a winner. (95 min. In Finnish and Swedish with English subtitles) \n“An enthralling and warm-hearted tale of families\, loss and the most bitter-sweet of redemptions”—Stuff.co.nz \nFilm screenings will take place as a 3 PM matinee and 7 PM evening showing.

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.

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. Tickets to this event 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. \nAbout the Director\nAnne Sewitsky (b. 1978) studied directing at the Norwegian Film School\, graduating in 2006 with the short Hjertekutt as her diploma film. Her first film after graduating\, the short Oh\, My God! was given special mention by the children’s jury\, and awarded the Special Prize of the Deutsches Kinderhilfswerkin in the Generation Kplus programme of the 2009 Berlin International Film Festival. Her feature film debut came in 2010 with the comedy Sykt Lykkelig (Happy\, happy)\, which was awarded the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2011. \nHer second feature film followed shortly: The children’s drama Jørgen + Anne = Sant (Totally True Love) premiered at the 2011 Berlin International Film Festival\, opening the Generation Kplus programme that year\, with a great reception. The film was also a winner with Norwegian critics and audiences alike. Sewitsky has also worked in television\, directing four episodes of the popular dramaseries Himmelblå for the Norwegian Broadcasting Company NRK in 2008\, as well as four episodes of Koselig med peis\, an 8-episode dramaseries produced by Tordenfilm AS\, and aired by NRK in early 2011.

SUMMARY:Wild Swims by Dorthe Nors - Online 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 October 5\, we’ll be discussing the new novel Wild Swims by Danish author Dorthe Nors (Karate Chop; Mirror\, Shoulder\, Signal)\, out in translation by Misha Hoekstra from Graywolf Press. \nIn 14 effervescent stories\, Wild Swims plumbs the depths of the human heart\, from desire to melancholy and everything in between. Here are portraits of men and women full of restless longing\, people who are often seeking a home but rarely finding it: A lie told during a fraught ferry ride on the North Sea becomes a wound that festers between school friends. A writer at a remote cabin befriends the mother of an ex-lover. Two friends knock doors to solicit fraudulent donations for the cancer society. A woman taken with the idea of wild swims ventures as far as the local swimming pool. \nDescribed as “mesmerizing\, addictive” (The Associated Press)\, Nors explores the core of human conflict with her characteristic concision\, restraint\, and offbeat humor.

SUMMARY:The Viking Heart — Virtual Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:This September\, join us for a virtual book talk on The Viking Heart: How Scandinavians Conquered the World with Arthur Herman\, out on August 3 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. \nFor millennia Norwegians\, Danes\, Finns\, and Swedes lived a remote and rugged existence among the fjords and peaks of the land of the midnight sun. But when they finally left their homeland in search of opportunity\, these wanderers — including the most famous\, the Vikings — would reshape Europe and beyond. \nIn The Viking Heart\, New York Times historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist Arthur Herman melds a compelling historical narrative with cutting-edge archaeological discoveries and DNA research to trace the epic story of this remarkable and truly diverse people. He shows how the Scandinavian experience has universal meaning\, and how we can still be inspired by their indomitable spirit and the strength of their community bonds\, much needed in our deeply polarized society today. \nIn this book talk\, Herman will discuss the research and writing of this novel\, followed by an audience Q&A. \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“A fine history of a people who deserve more attention…Herman makes a convincing case that the peoples of Scandinavia have contributed more to today’s world than they are given credit for.”—Kirkus Reviews \nAbout the Author\nArthur Herman is Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute and author of nine books\, including the New York Times bestseller How the Scots Invented the Modern World and Gandhi and Churchill. \nHis novel Gandhi and Churchill was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He lives in Washington\, DC.
