In this talk from the Bag om bøgerne series, romance author Johanne Bille and poet Maja Lucas explore why books across genres keep returning to competition, the body and desire. Johanne Bille is behind the popular romance Gnister på isen, while Maja Lucas wrote the critically acclaimed poetry collection Tennisdigte.
Romance expert Sarah von Essen joins them to examine why sport, sex and literary craft make such a surprisingly heated pairing. The evening also invites the audience to share their favourite sports romances and sports poems, and to bring questions along on the night.
