Tænkepauser - Novels at KFM

Join us in celebrating the UN's International Day of Reading with a lecture on "Tænkepauser: Novels" featuring Rikke Andersen Kraglund.

About the book: "You shouldn't believe everything you read. This is especially true in novels, where some fight windmills and others end up as donkeys. Yet even the most fantastical stories always tell something true about the world, because they mirror our wildest dreams and deepest failures. This is what Rikke Andersen Kraglund, a literature scholar from Aarhus University, tells us. She reads between the lines and presents the broad genre as if it were an open book: when we devour crime, drama and sci-fi, we learn not only to understand others' thoughts and feelings, but also discover truths about ourselves."
