Danish author Rasmus Daugbjerg, who has won readers over with just three novels, comes to talk about his writing. The conversation centres on his latest novel, Rasmus Nielsøn, a story about a meeting between a tenant farmer and a mermaid, loosely built on a historical source linked to the birth of Christian IV.
The talk also looks back at his wider body of work, including his breakthrough novel Trold from 2022. Daugbjerg discusses why and how he uses the monstrous, the mysterious and folk belief to tell his stories.
