SUMMARY:IF ONLY BY VIGDIS HJORTH
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! On December 10\, we’ll be discussing award-winning Norwegian author Vigdis Hjorth’s If Only\, a groundbreaking yet timeless early work now out in English translation by Charlotte Barslund. \nA relatively young woman\, aged thirty. She married in her early twenties\, had two children. It is winter. January and minus 14°C\, white\, frosty mist around the parked car\, around the spruces\, the mailbox on its post\, but higher up the sky is blue\, clear\, the sun has come back. She has written in her diary that she is waiting for the heartbreak that will turn her into her true self. She has an impending sense of doom or possibly her own death. \nSo opens Vigids Hjorth’s ground-breaking novel from 2001\, which melds the yearning\, doomed potency of Annie Ernaux’s A Simple Passion with the scale and force of Anna Karenina. Can passion be mistaken for love? When Ida meets Arnold\, also married\, at a conference\, she impulsively invites him to share her bed. She returns home\, already half-obsessed\, and the dissolution of her marriage and break-up of her family pass almost without her noticing. Arnold has a more relaxed attitude toward the affair. But neither his coolness nor the alarming talk she hears about him can dampen her desire. When she finally has Arnold for herself\, their mounting jealousies and insecurities metastasize\, resulting in violence and addiction. \nIn urgent prose\, with layers of candid and vivid detail\, Hjorth shows just how devastating love can be when it binds the wrong people. \nRegister

SUMMARY:LIFE AND DEATH OF A CHRISTMAS TREE
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 13 for a screening of Life and Death of a Christmas Tree! Lithuanian documentary filmmaker Arturas Jevdokimovas will be present for a discussion on how he went behind the scenes to discover the billion-dollar business of a magical holiday tradition\, with producer Ringailė Leščinskienė discussion after the film screening which will be moderated by independent writer Elissaveta M. Brandon. \nIf you stop someone in any European town to tell them that their festive\, bushy Christmas tree originated in Georgia\, they will be surprised — the trees are often labeled in Danish. But in fact the seeds of the fir cones are harvested every autumn in Georgia. Only later are they sold to the Danish\, who grow the seedlings and then sell the trees across Europe. \nIn this social drama set between two communities\, Jevdokimovas explores the Christmas tree businesses in both countries\, observing their sharp differences in living conditions\, attitudes and mentality. Where the Danish Christmas trees growers belong to the middle class in wealthy Northern Europe\, the Georgians live in a remote mountainous poor part of Georgia\, exhausted by several wars and painful transfer from Soviet regime to democracy. In contrast to the relative safety of the Danish tree business\, Georgian cone pickers face daily danger — scaling up to 60 meters to reach the tops of Georgian firs. As we follow this journey of ultimate winter symbol from their Georgian seeds to our homes\, the film reflects on the meaning of this festive tradition\, and its human cost against a backdrop of consumerism.
