NORLA and Norwegian authors at the Leipziger Buchmesse

Last year, Norway was the guest country at the Leipzig Book Fair. The appearance was — both in terms of numbers and in the overwhelming response — a great success. This year as well, NORLA is once again presenting contemporary and classic literature from Norway at Germany’s most important public book fair. You are welcome to visit us at our stand in Hall 4, C304!

Twelve authors from Norway are taking part in the Leipzig Book Fair – and once again NORLA and the translator are highlighting some of the very best new German-language releases across all genres. The following authors are on the programme: Trude Teige, Ørjan Karlsson, Brit Bildøen, Frode Grytten, Maria Navarro Skaranger, Kathrine Nedrejord, Erika Fatland, Sigbjørn Lilleeng, Reidar Müller, Bibi Fatima Musavi, Line Baugstø, Kirsti Eline Torhaug and Ebba D. Drolshagen.
