Norway’s literary relationship therapist?

Join a literary therapy session about one of the autumn’s major talking points. The novel Så gjør vi så has topped the bestseller lists for several months and received glowing reviews. With an unflinching eye and warm insight, love, hate, hope, betrayal and human relationships are explored.

Why is a comforting lie necessary? Why does anger trump other emotions? And what happens to the community when individual self-optimisation takes up more and more space?

Anton attends anger-management therapy, Birgitte struggles with the menopause, and Ebba tries to hold on to a world that no longer exists. As the community disintegrates and the world burns, perspectives narrow and what is close becomes increasingly important.

With precision and warmth, Helga Flatland captures contemporary life and shows why it is better to play in a brass band than to perform solo.

A conversation between Helga Flatland and Mikkel Bugge.
