Knud Romer & Simon Strauss

Join us for a journey into the literature of Europe and a cross-generation meeting between Knud Romer and the young German writer Simon Strauss. The two will meet in the banquet hall of Charlottenborg for a talk on European literature, identity and education.

As writers and debaters, both have marked themselves as neo-romantic voices, fighting for the arts to become part of the (European) public and self-understanding again. Strauss’ debut novel ‘Seven Nights’ caused a big amount of debate in Germany in 2017 and it has been declared a key novel for the post-wall generation. In June, he published his second book ‘Römische Tage’. Romer is an award-winning author and has recently published the book ‘Map of Paradise’. Associate Professor and Dr. Phil Marianne Stidsen will be moderating the conversation.

ATLAS Magazine organizes the talk in collaboration with Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Golden Days and Goethe Institute Denmark Admission: 50 DKK (including a beer or alcohol-free beverage). Get your ticket here.

The talk will be in English.
