Literature Café in the Podcast Studio | Destiny

Please note that due to Covid-19 restrictions, this event will be recorded and will be accessible as part of the City Library Podcast Programme.

The Podcast is in Icelandic.

Writers Auður Jónsdóttir and Pétur Gunnarsson have written many books of autofiction. In this event they will discuss biographies, and if the genre is coming to an end, as a traditional form, and if autofiction is taking over. Or has fiction maybe always been a part of biographical writing?

Auður and Pétur have also written novels that center on the act of writing in itself, the search for stories and the need for your own narrative. Maybe it's easier to play with facts when it comes to your own story, but our stories are inevitably entwined. 

Literary scholar and publisher, Einar Kári Jóhannsson, will lead the discussion, which will be in Icelandic.
