Thanks a lot for having us, Frankfurt!
What an amazing book fair week we’ve had!
All of us at NORLA would like to thank everyone who contributed; authors, illustrators, translators, artists, moderators, volunteers, interpreters, agents, publishers, booksellers, our architects and designers, sponsors, everyone we collaborated with both for the literary program and the cultural program, our PR agency, the Norwegian embassy in Berlin, friends and acquaintances, old and new – and last, but not least the great audiences!
THANK YOU all for making the Frankfurter Buchmesse full of memories for life.
Did you not go to Frankfurt this year? Or were you there, but didn’t get to see everything? Or perhaps you would like to see some of the events a second time?
