Welcome to Folkets hörna at the Sketches museum in Lund and live on Zoom!
Participating authors are Elisabeth Hjorth and Max Gazi Bergqvist. Therése Granwald and Johan Blomgren from Folkets hörna will lead the discussion.
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.
Elisabeth Hjorth was born in Ramkvilla, Småland, and lives in Lund. She is a professor of literary design at the University of Gothenburg and in 2008 she debuted with the poetry collection "Kärnfamiljen". She has since published a series of novels, the latest of which is "Sällskap" (2026). In it, Elisabeth examines society as a redemptive or destructive force. Communities are forged or fall apart, become refuges or prisons, depending on who you ask. For her writing, she has received the Karin Boye Literary Prize, the Ilona Kohrtz Scholarship and the Gerard Bonnier Essay Prize.
