REYKJAVÍK INTERNATIONAL LITERARY FESTIVAL – WRITING THROUGH GRIEF AND LOSS

I directed a panel at the Reykjavík International Literary Feastival for the third time this year. I spoke with Patrik Svensson, author of the surprise international bestseller The Gospel of Eels, and poet and playwright Halla Þórlaug Óskarsdóttir, author of Þagnarbindindi (The Quiet Game), which won the Icelandic poetry prize Maístjarnan for 2021. The panel was on the subject of writing through grief and loss, something that the three of us are all too familiar with, as can be seen in our recent works.

The discussion took place in English and is available here: https://vimeo.com/600148800
