Helle Helle & Vigdis Hjorth: Ordinary Miracles

Two heavyweights of Nordic fiction meet on stage for a sparky conversation with Sophie Gee about daily life as rich material.

Helle Helle is a household name in Denmark, where her striking novels about ordinary people (This Should be Written in the Present Tense, they) have won every major prize.

She’s joined by Norway’s Vigdis Hjorth (Is Mother Dead, Repetition), known for her sharp wit and the sort of unflinching autofiction that occasionally gets her into trouble.
