SUMMARY:Companions by Alexandra Kleeman
DESCRIPTION:**Nordic Book Club will take place as an online meeting** \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead 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. Register here to sign up for the meeting; registrants will receive a web link to where the meeting will take place. \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. \n\n\nOn November 17\, we’ll be discussing Companions by Alexandra Kleeman\, described as “a blend of arresting detail\, digression\, and erudition tinged with nostalgia” (Kirkus Reviews) with”vivid imagery and unexpected humor” (New York Times). Camilla\, Charles\, Alma\, Edward\, Alwilda and Kristian are a circle of friends hurtling through mid-life. Structured as a series of monologues jumping from one friend to the next\, Companions follows their loves\, ambitions\, pains and anxieties as they age\, fall sick\, have affairs\, grieve\, host dinner parties and move between the Lake District\, Berlin\, Lisbon\, Belgrade\, Mozambique\, New York and\, of course\, Denmark. \nIn her first book to be translated into English\, Christina Hesselholdt explores everyday life\, the weight of the past and the difficulty of intimacy in a uniquely playful and experimental style. At once deeply comic and remarkably insightful\, Companions is an exhilarating portrait of life in the twenty-first century. \n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:TASTE OF ICELAND: WOMAN AT WAR /Kona fer í stríð
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in its history\, Taste of Iceland is going virtual! From November 18-22\, Iceland Naturally invites you to experience Icelandic culture during the online Taste of Iceland festival. The festival highlights the very best of Iceland’s culture\, showcasing the nation’s cuisine\, music\, literature\, and film through several live streamed events. As part of these celebrations\, Scandinavia House is proud to serve as the virtual venue for a cinematic presentation of Woman at War. \nBehind the scenes of her quiet routine\, the independent 50-year-old Halla leads a double life as a passionate environmental activist. Known to others only by her alias “The Woman of the Mountain\,” Halla secretly wages a one-woman-war on the local aluminium industry. As Halla’s actions grow bolder\, from petty vandalism to outright industrial sabotage\, she succeeds in pausing the negotiations between the Icelandic government and the corporation building a new aluminium smelter in the mountains. \nBut right as she begins planning her biggest and boldest operation yet\, she receives an unexpected letter that changes everything: Her application to adopt a child has finally been accepted\, and a little girl is waiting for her in Ukraine. \nAs Halla prepares to abandon her role as saboteur and savior of the Highlands to fulfill her dream of becoming a mother\, she decides to plot one final attack to deal the aluminium industry a crippling blow. Directed by Benedikt Erlingsson (100 min. In Icelandic with English subtitles.) \nOn Sunday\, November 22 at 4 PM ET\, director Benedikt Erlingsson will join us for a Virtual Film Talk on Woman at War.  \nRegister

SUMMARY:POLAR TALES: VIRTUAL BOOK TALK WITH MELISSA SCHÄFER & FREDRIK GRANATH
DESCRIPTION:American-Scandinavian Foundation invites you to a virtual book talk with photographer Melissa Schäfer & producer Fredrik Granath on their new book Polar Tales: The Future of Ice\, Life\, and the Arctic\, out now from Rizzoli Press. \nThe Arctic is the ground zero of climate change\, and the polar bear is on the front line. Filled with groundbreaking photography that reveals the breathtaking landscapes of the Arctic and the changing environment through the lives of polar bears\, Polar Tales is a firsthand report from the top of our planet. It tells a story about an ice world in transformation\, and a planet within reach of its tipping point—the irreversible moment when the climate on Earth begins collapsing. \nPolar Tales is both a celebration of the wildlife that inhabits the most harsh and unforgiving yet beautiful environment imaginable—mountains\, fjords\, enormous glaciers\, and the seemingly endless pack ice of the Arctic Ocean—and a cautionary tale of global warming; as rising temperatures have put areas such as the Arctic at risk\, the habitats and lives of the animals there are increasingly threatened. Set against a dramatic landscape of ice floes and ragged mountains\, the book’s photographs feature polar bears\, foxes\, seals\, walruses\, and reindeer that now struggle to live in this vulnerable climate. Images of a polar bear mother as she takes her newborns out for their first hunt\, a seal pup only hours old\, and the spectacle of the polar night are all reminders of what is at risk. \nSchäfer and Granath will discuss the book\, as well as their work on months spent in the field every winter on expeditions\, where they live among the polar bears\, establishing an uneasy balance and unprecedented access to the world of the kings of the Arctic. \nThe event will take place as a Zoom webinar\, and will begin with a video presentation with Schäfer and Granath followed by a discussion and an audience Q&A. 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. \nPolar Tales: The Future of Ice\, Life\, and the Arctic is available now from Rizzoli and also for sale on Schäfer and Granath’s Motherbear website. \n  \n \n  \n \n
