Easter Holidays in NORLA
Our office is closed for the Easter holidays as of Monday, April 14. We will be back on Tuesday, April 22.
We have been looking forward to this for several years, and finally it is happening:
Norwegian literature will be in the spotlight during the book fair in Leipzig, and also at the reading festival Leipzig liest (Leipzig Reads) which runs parallel, in venues all around the city.
The Norwegian Guest of Honour program comprises approx. 80 events that will take place at Norway’s stand in Hall 4 D 300 / C 301, and at the Norwegian Hub in Schaubühne Lindenfels.
In addition, there will be several other exciting literary and cultural events as part of various side programs.
Please see our complete Guest of Honour program (all details in German)
Do read more about the participating authors by visiting our German website gastland2025.de
Also, we invite you to follow our German Facebook profile
And please listen to our German language podcast Der Büchersnakk
Our Norwegian Hub during the book fair is the renowned Schaubühne Lindenfels. Here everyone is invited to enjoy an exciting mix of literary and cultural program after book fair hours, and at the weekend.

NORLA aims to recruit more translators of Norwegian Literature. We look forward to welcoming interested participants to take part in our seminar for new translators, which will be held in Oslo from April 23-26, 2025.
NORLA annually hands out an award to a talented emerging translator of Norwegian literature. The award is given for translations directly from Norwegian as an encouragement towards continued efforts.
The 2025 award will be given to a translator of fiction.
We would very much like to hear from you about deserving candidates!
