Join us as three authors delve into the topic of why we’re drawn to literature that makes us feel uneasy. What is the role of discomfort in relation to a work of fiction?

Bragi Ólafsson, a well-known writer and musician in Iceland, enjoys creating bizarre and discomforting situations for his characters. Alejandro Palomas’ works often center on complicated family relationships, with discomfort being a recurring theme. Marina Enriquez fearlessly explores the darkest aspects of the human psyche in her writing, leaving readers with a sense of unease and disturbance.

This discussion will be moderated by author Fríða Ísberg. Come discover why we can’t help but find pleasure in the uncomfortable and the difficult.

The event will take place in English.
