SUMMARY:The Book of Reykjavík — Virtual Book Talk With Kristín Eiríksdóttir\, Björn Halldórsson\, Larissa Kyzer\, & Halla Þórlaug Óskarsdóttir
DESCRIPTION:On November 16\, join us for a virtual book talk on the new fiction anthology The Book of Reykjavik: A City in Short Fiction\, out November 11 from Comma Press! Authors Kristín Eiríksdóttir & Björn Halldórsson and translator Larissa Kyzer will discuss the novel and its translation\, as well as the themes explored in the book\, with moderator Halla Þórlaug Óskarsdóttir. \nIceland is a land of stories; from the epic sagas of its mythic past\, to its claim today of being home to more writers\, more published books and more avid readers\, per head\, than anywhere in the world. As its capital (and indeed only city)\, Reykjavik has long been an inspiration for these stories. But as this collection demonstrates\, this fishing-village-turned-metropolis at the farthest fringe of Europe has been both revered and reviled by Icelanders over the years. The tension between the city and the surrounding countryside\, its rural past and urban present\, weaves its way through The Book of Reykjavik\, forming an outline of a fragmented city marked by both contradiction and creativity. \nEdited by Becca Parkinson & Vera Juliusdottir and featuring stories by Friðgeir Einarsson\, Kristín Eiríksdóttir\, Þórarinn Eldjárn\, Einar Már Guðmundsson\, Björn Halldórsson\, Fríða Ísberg\, Auður Jónsdóttir\, Guðrún Eva Mínervudóttir\, Andri Snær Magnason & Ágúst Borgþór Sverrisson\, as well as an introduction by award-winning Icelandic author Sjón\, The Book of Reykjavik has been hailed as “a fine anthology of tales that illuminate the character of the city\, urban identity\, the complications of life\, dysfunctional relationships\, second beginnings\, looking for love and the impressions of the past” (NB Magazine). \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. \nAbout the Speakers\nKristín Eiríksdóttir is an award-winning novelist\, short story writer\, poet\, and playwright from Reykjavík\, Iceland. Her original edition of A Fist or a Heart won the Icelandic Literary Prize 2017 as well as the Icelandic Women’s Literature Prize 2018\, and was nominated for the Nordic Council Literature Prize 2019.

Eiríksdóttir has published seven books and had three plays staged. Her short fiction has appeared in Best European Fiction 2011. A Fist or a Heart is her first novel to be translated into English. \nBjörn Halldórsson was born in Reykjavik\, Iceland\, in 1983.

SUMMARY:Uncle
DESCRIPTION:On November 17\, see the award-winning film Uncle (Denmark\, 2019; dir. Frelle Petersen) in New Nordic Cinema at Scandinavia House! \nKris (Jette Søndergaard) lives on a derelict farm in a small Danish town that she runs with her disabled uncle\, with a quirky but loving relationship filled with daily routines and moments of comfortable silence. But when one day she miraculously saves the life of a newborn calf\, her dream of becoming a veterinarian — which she had put on hold to care for her uncle — is rekindled. In pursuit of her studies\, she develops a friendship with the chatty veterinarian Johannes\, and begins to branch out into the world beyond her small farm — even starting a relationship with a young man in town. But her overprotective role in her relationship with her uncle\, and her heavy workload in maintaining their farm\, continue to get in the way of her blossoming new life. \nA beautiful exploration of small-town Danish life that is both stunningly picturesque and quaintly endearing in its navigation of young love and complicated relationships\, Uncle has been acclaimed as “a film of revelatory detail (ScreenDaily) and a “quite exquisite slice of humanity” (Cineurope). Winner of the Tokyo Grand Prix Best Film\, 2020 Tokyo International Film Festival; Official Selection\, 2020 Tallinn Black Nights and Göteborg film festivals. Directed by Frelle Petersen (105 min. In Danish with English subtitles) \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.
