SUMMARY:EVIL FLOWERS BY GUNNHILD ØYEHAUG
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 July 11\, we’ll be discussing Evil Flowers by award-winning Norwegian writer Gunnhild Øyehaug (Present Tense Machine)\, who recently discussed the book with us in a virtual talk streaming here. \nIn Evil Flowers\, a precise but madcap collection of short stories now in translation by Kari Dickson\, Gunnhild Øyehaug extracts the bizarre from the mundane and reveals the strange\, startling brilliance of everyday life. A section of a woman’s brain slips into the toilet bowl\, removing her ability to remember or recognize types of birds — though she is an ornithologist. Medicinal leeches ingest information from fiberoptic cables\, and a new museum sinks into the ground. \n\n\nAcross 25 stories\, Øyehaug renovates the form again and again\, confirming Lydia Davis’s observation that her every story is “a formal surprise\, smart and droll.” Inspired by Charles Baudelaire\, a dreamer and romantic in the era of realism\, Øyehaug revolts against the ordinary\, reaching instead for the wonder to be found in fantasy and absurdity. \nBrimming with wit\, ingenuity\, and irrepressible joy\, these stories mark another triumph from a dazzling international writer. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:MY MEN
DESCRIPTION:Join us on July 12 for a book talk with Norwegian author Victoria Kielland on My Men\, a fictional account of one broken woman’s descent into inescapable madness\, out on June 27 from Astra Publishing House! Kielland will discuss her novel\, which is based on the true story of Norwegian maid turned Midwestern farmwife Belle Gunness\, the first known female serial killer in American history\, with translator Damian Searls. \nAmong thousands of other Norwegian immigrants seeking freedom\, Brynhild Størset emigrated to the American Upper Midwest in the late 19th century\, changing her name and her life. As Bella\, later Belle Gunness\, she came in search of not only fortune and true faith but\, most of all\, love. In this literary reimagining of her harrowing true story\, Kielland’s Belle grows increasingly alienated\, ruthless\, and perversely compelling in her pursuit of the American Dream. Raw\, visceral\, and altogether hypnotic\, My Men is a brutal yet radically empathetic glimpse into the world of a woman consumed by desire. \n\n\nThis event will take place at Scandinavia House. Advance registration is recommended; sign up at the link above. \n“This fascinating\, off-kilter novel about a female serial killer is an unexpectedly thrilling read.”\n—Karl Ove Knausgård\, author of My Struggle and The Morning Star \n“Kielland’s dense\, lyrical novel offers both insight and opacity . . .  Despite the subject matter\, this novel is not your typical thriller. The language\, in Searls’ translation\, is dense\, poetic\, and deeply figurative.” —Kirkus Reviews

SUMMARY:THE GUILTY
DESCRIPTION:This summer at Scandinavia House\, see the critically acclaimed Nordic films that inspired American remakes in the series “The Nordics Do It Better”! You’ve seen the Hollywood version — but did you know how good the original was?\n\n\n\n\nOn July 11\, see 2018 Danish crime thriller The Guilty /Den Skyldige (dir. Gustav Möller\, Denmark\, 2018)\, which was in 2021 was remade as the Netflix film The Guilty\, starring and produced by Jake Gyllenhaal. When police officer Asger Holm (Jakob Cedergren) is demoted to deskwork\, he expects a sleepy beat as an emergency dispatcher. But that all changes when one night he receives an emergency call from a kidnapped woman — who states that she is currently being driven out of Copenhagen against her will — and he embarks on an increasingly hair-raising journey to probe the mystery by any means necessary. \n\n\nAs he uses others as his eyes and ears to bring the missing woman to safety\, a ticking clock and his own personal demons conspire against him\, and the search to find her and her assailant will take every bit of his intuition and skill. \nIn this innovative and unrelenting Danish thriller that uses a single location to great effect\,  director Gustav Möller expertly frames the increasingly messy proceedings against the clean Scandinavian sterility of the police department\, while Cedergren’s strong performance places the audience squarely in Holm’s tragically flawed yet well-intentioned mindspace. Shortlisted as the Danish submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards\, The Guilty was hailed as “a masterclass in wringing breathless tension from just a few key ingredients” (Wendy Ide\, Observer). \n\n\n\n \n\nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:LET THE RIGHT ONE IN
DESCRIPTION:This summer at Scandinavia House\, see the critically acclaimed Nordic films that inspired American remakes in the series “The Nordics Do It Better”! You’ve seen the Hollywood version — did you know how good the original was? \nOn July 19\, see the critically lauded Swedish romantic horror film Let the Right One In /Låt den rätte komma in (dir. Tomas Alfredson\, 2008)\, based on the 2004 novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist\, which was later adapted to the 2010 American film Let Me In (starring Kodi Smit-McPhee and Chloë Grace Moretz) and the 2022 Showtime TV series Let the Right One In. A fragile\, anxious boy\, 12-year-old Oskar is regularly bullied by his stronger classmates but never strikes back. His wish for a friend seems to come true when he meets Eli\, a pale and serious young girl who has just moved in next door with her father\, and who only comes out at night. Coinciding with her arrival\, a series of inexplicable disappearances and murders occur — in which blood seems to be the common denominator. \n\n\nAs Oscar begins to realize that Eli may be more than she first seemed\, a subtle romance also begins to blossom between them\, as Eli gives him strength to fight back against his aggressors. But as he also becomes increasingly aware of the tragic and inhuman dimensions of Eli’s plight\, he also cannot bring himself to forsake her. \nHailed as “a spectrally beautiful vampire film that’s more than the sum of its chills and estimable technique” (Manohla Dargis\, NY Times)\, Let the Right One In won numerous awards including four Guldbagge Awards\, the Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature at Tribeca Film Festival\, the Méliès d’Argent (Silver Méliès)\, and others. Swedish filmmaker Tomas Alfredson weaves friendship\, rejection and loyalty into a disturbing and darkly atmospheric\, yet poetic and unexpectedly tender tableau of adolescence. \n\n\n \n  \nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:IN ORDER OF DISAPPEARANCE
DESCRIPTION:This summer at Scandinavia House\, see the critically acclaimed Nordic films that inspired American remakes in the series “The Nordics Do It Better”! You’ve seen the Hollywood version — did you know how good the original was? \nA vengeance tale with equal parts Coen Brothers humor and Tarantino-style action\, In Order of Disappearance /Kraftidioten (Norway\, 2016) stars Stellan Skarsgård as the introverted and hard-working snowplow drive Nils\, who has just been named “Citizen of the Year” when he receives news that his son has died of a heroin overdose. Disbelieving the official report\, Nils soon uncovers evidence that his son was murdered as a result of a turf war between a buffoonish local mob boss known as “The Count” (Pål Sverre Hagan) and his Serbian rivals. \n  \n\n\nArmed with heavy machinery and a good dose of beginner’s luck\, Nils embarks upon a quest for revenge that soon escalates into full-blown war\, with the body count spiraling ever higher among drug traffickers\, con artists\, and kingpins. A wintry thriller with satisfying intelligence — and more than a few laughs — In Order of Disappearance was remade by Norwegian director Hans Petter Moland in 2019 as the American thriller Cold Pursuit\, starring Liam Neeson. \n\n \nPURCHASE TICKETS
