Swedish Crime Fiction : Reading in Bengalooru
Still busy-busy and all that, but another interesting thing I can point you at. Via the Caferati mailings, got news of what seems to be an event worth attending:
Swedish Crime Fiction
– The Renewal And Redefining Of A Literary Genre.
Readings by two Swedish crime fiction writers:
Håkan Nesser, author of the internationally bestselling series about Chief Inspector Van Veeteren, that include titles such as The Mind’s Eye, Borkmann’s Point, and Woman with Birthmark (Pan Macmillan);
Together with Zac O’Yeah, author of the forthcoming Once Upon A Time In Scandinavistan (Hachette India).
The readings will be followed by a unique panel discussion on modern crime fiction, featuring Sudarshan Purohit, Literary Critic and Translator of Surender Mohan Pathak’s bestselling Hindi novels The 65 Lakh Heist and Daylight Robbery (Blaft Publications), as a moderating panelist.
If any Bengaloorian readers of this blog are planning to attend, drop me a note if you feel like it - I should be there.
