From 21 August to 24 this literary event will be returning for the 14th Edition. 56 Danish and International authors will be taking part in this celebrated event.
During this time there will be readings, interviews, conversations, concerts and performances.
Beginning in its setting in Humlebæk, there will be a collection of names making their contribution to this occasion. We mark just a taster in who is getting involved this year:
Maggie Nelson (b. 1973)
The American author will open this celebratory writers’ spectacular discussing her career from the 2015 book The Argonauts to her more recently launched novel Pathemata (2025). The philosophical inscription of her works will draw on her inspirations from a talk that does not stop there. As Nelson can also be seen on Saturday in conversation with French writer Neige Sinno (b. 1977) who is also to talk of her own book Sad Tiger in the Concert Hall on Friday at 12:30.
Hwang Sok-Yong (b. 1943)
The South Korean shortlisted for the 2024 International Booker Prize discusses his works from novel Mater 2-10. The author is notably one of his country’s greatest in his craft and has been imprisoned several times for his political activism. Hwang Sok-Yong can also be seen on Saturday afternoon in conversation with Australian Richard Flanagan (b. 1961).
Samantha Harvey (b. 1975)
British born Booker Prize-winning novelist will be presenting her work Orbital and then Six Sunrises, a book about six astronauts’ stay on a space station for sixteen days, was called “a miraculous event” by the prize committee. On Sunday, Harvey can be seen in conversation with Danish Solvej Balle (b.1962).
