This year’s literary fair Book World Prague will welcome eight Nordic authors and the lineup will be exceptionally diverse. The event will feature winners of presitigous literary awards, a new author of a famous crime series and we’ll even take a peek into the world of comic books.
You can check out new translations from Nordic languages at the #ReadNordic stand, which will be in Křižík Pavilion B, under the sign KB305. Selected titles will be sold in cooperation with the Nordic embassies in the Czech republic and we’ll also provide information about Nordic culture. Two book signings will take place at the stand – Iida Turpeinen and Frode Grytten.
The main event of the Nordic programme will be a Nordic literary evening with four authors on Friday 15th May. Other Nordic hosts will also take the stage during the literary fair.
