SUMMARY:Present Tense Machine 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 May 10\, we’ll be discussing Present Tense Machine by Gunnhild Øyehaug\, out now in translation by Kari Dickson\, which was recently discussed by the author in a virtual panel now streaming here. \nOn an ordinary day in Bergen\, Norway\, in the late 1990s\, Anna is reading in the garden while her two-year-old daughter\, Laura\, plays on her tricycle. Then\, in one startling moment\, Anna misreads a word\, an alternate universe opens up\, and Laura disappears. \nTwenty years or so later\, life has gone on as if nothing happened\, but in each of the women’s lives\, something is not quite right. Both Anna and Laura continue to exist\, but they are invisible to each other and forgotten in each other’s worlds. Both are writers and amateur pianists. They are married; Anna had two more children after Laura disappeared\, and Laura is expecting a child of her own. They worry about their families\, their jobs\, the climate—and whether this reality is all there is. \nØyehaug delivers another dazzling renovation of what fiction can do: a testament to the fact that language shapes the world.

SUMMARY:The Innocents
DESCRIPTION:“A clever\, engaging and often electrifying feature” (ScreenDaily) — On May 11\, see the gripping new supernatural arthouse thriller The Innocents /De uskyldige (dir. Eskil Vogt\, Norway\, 2021) at Scandinavia House! A pre-recorded film Q&A with Eskil Vogt follows the screening. \nDuring the bright Nordic summer\, four children meet on a Norwegian estate and begin to play together away from the gaze of grown-ups\, revealing their dark and mysterious powers to one another. When they find that their abilities of telepathy\, telekinesis and mind control are enhanced by one another\, a secret and magical world opens up. But when this gives way to more sadistic impulses\, playtime takes a dangerous turn. (117 min. In Norwegian with English subtitles) \n“Emil Vogt invents a new game with The Innocents\, and there’s nothing childish about this play”—ScreenDaily \nThis screening will take place in Victor Borge Hall; 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. ASF is committed to providing an environment free from harassment or discrimination in the treatment of individuals and does not permit harassment or discrimination in any forms (whether racial\, sexual\, religious\, orientation or others) within our building.
