Two Faroese writers take the stage at NordOrd for a conversation about their current books. Rúni Weihe brings his novel Boys, boys, boys, a coming-of-age story about a grown son trying to make peace with where he comes from, while Katrin Ottarsdóttir presents her short story collection 7, seven sharp and unsettling tales that take on botox, ageing, jealousy, self-defence, prepping and philanthropy.
Moderated by Birgir Thor Møller, the evening opens with a discussion of the books and the writers' wider work, before the audience gets to put questions to them. Weihe was born in the Faroe Islands in 1985 and trained as an architect before studying at the Forfatterskolen in Copenhagen. Ottarsdóttir, an award-winning filmmaker and writer born in Tórshavn in 1957, won the Faroese Literature Prize for her novel Sommeren varer ikke hele året længere.
