Bag Bogen Live: Kim Leine

Kim Leine discusses his novel 'Olavs hus' - the first book in a trilogy based on his own family history. The story begins with Leine's great-grandmother, who lives a difficult life on a small smallholding in Norwegian Telemark, until a French hot-air balloon one day passes by.

At the event, Leine talks about how he manages his own family history and what it takes of imagination to write vanished fates, places and events onto the page.

The event is part of the conversation series Bag Bogen Live, where literature mediator Lea Fløe Christensen meets invited authors for an informal chat about the current book - the thoughts, processes and stories behind it.
