The Nordic House is a central literary arena in Reykjavik. The Nordic House has a long tradition of organizing author events with current and exciting Nordic writers in the spring and autumn period. It is our goal to invite a broad spectrum of interesting and relevant authors to talk about their books and their authorship.<\/p>\n\n

The Author\u2019s night consists of one or several authors who, in conversation with a literary expert in a Scandinavian language, unfold their authorship and literary work. The audience is welcome to ask questions at the end of the talks. You can experience and reexperience Author\u2019s nights through our Livestream channel.<\/p>\n\n
