Event details

Meet Denmark's current DR Novel Prize winner Kim Fupz Aakeson for an engaging conversation at Risskov Library. The author discusses his award-winning novel The Shadow Before Me, which follows a former killer on a pilgrimage through Spain.

Throughout the evening, Aakeson explores the novel's central themes: guilt, punishment, forgiveness, and the chance to begin anew. He delves into the artistic process behind making readers empathize with a person carrying heavy burdens. Experience an intimate and thought-provoking evening with one of Denmark's most distinctive storytellers, facilitated by librarian Karina Høyer.
