The Reykjavík International Literary Festival
September 7 to 11
The Nordic House & Iðnó
Free
Literature is more than just the words. It’s thoughts, ideas, stories—introducing your
mind to a new world that can sometimes change your life forever. If you like to read
or write, or to create and imagine, then The Reykjavik International Literary Festival
may be worth checking out. Fifteen international authors and ten Icelandic ones
will be at the festival, which is being held this year in memory of the late author and
festival founder Thor Vilhjálmsson.
The theme this year is ‘The Sagas as modern epic’. If you want to know about
the medieval literary heritage of Iceland seen in contemporary literature, go to the
international conference about the Sagas of the Icelanders on September 10. There
will be readings at The Nordic House during the day and at Iðnó theatre in the
evenings. Get the program and more info on www.bokmenntahatid.is
