~ A unique insight into the author's writing process ~
Welcome to Folkets hörna at the Sketches museum in Lund and live on Zoom!
Contributing authors are Elin Anna Labba and Kenny Andersson. Therese Granwald and Johan Blomgren from Folkets hörna lead the conversation.
People's corner - work in progress is a stage for fiction texts in process. At Folkets hörna, two authors participate on each occasion, one who is already established and one who has not yet been published by the established publishers. Each writer reads a short excerpt from an ongoing writing project and then receives feedback from two writing educators who lead the text conversations. They also receive feedback from the other participating author and from the audience. In this way, the authors get a unique opportunity to test their work in progress on others, and the audience gets a rare insight into and opportunity to influence an author's writing process. You don't have to participate in the conversation, it's fine to just listen, but it's encouraged.
Our established author this evening is Elin Anna Labba. Elin Anna is a Sami journalist and writer from the Swedish part of Sápmi. In 2020, she debuted with "Herrarna satte oss hit: om vångsförflettningarna i Sverige", a depiction of the forced transfer of Sami families that took place for many years during the 1900th century. The book was awarded the August Prize for the year's non-fiction book and she was also awarded the Norrland literature prize, the Hedenvind plaque and the IM prize.
Earlier this year, her first novel "Far inte till haet" was published. It is based on stories about Sami villages that were drowned during the 1900th century's great hydropower era in northern Sweden.
