Join us for a memorable evening of fantasy and horror writing with two contemporary greats of the genre! Called "The Queen of Finnish Weird," JOHANNA SINISALO writes speculative fiction infused by her obsessions with plants, folk tales and myths.
Sinisalo is joined by K.C. MEAD-BREWER, a celebrated American writer and editor whose work plays with such unlikely combinations as fairy tales and alternate realities. Set against scenography designed by the Danish performance and video artist Thomas Hejlesen, Sinisalo and Mead-Brewer will conjure a delightful evening of unexpected stories and discussion centered on speculative fiction and horror writing.
We will have mingling, drinks, and snacks for all participants following the event.
JOHANNA SINISALO is a Finnish author and screenwriter. She is called "the queen of Finnish speculative fiction", and has won among others the Finlandia Prize and the James Tiptree, Jr. Award. Her nine novels and several short prose items have been translated into more than twenty languages. As a screenwriter, Sinisalo's most well-known work is the original story for the 2012 cult SF comedy Iron Sky. She has also written sritics, columns, articles and essays and edited two anthologies.
K.C. MEAD-BREWER is a dark fiction author living in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. She's a graduate of the 2018 Clarion Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers' Workshop and of Tin House's 2018 Winter Workshop for Short Fiction. Her short story "The Hidden People" won the 2020 Montana Prize in Fiction, and her short story "The Daddy Thing" was one of Electric Literature's 32 most-read stories of the decade. Her debut novel is currently out on submission.
Location: This final event of the No Place Is An Island literary festival will be held at the Kinohotel's theater, a creative and unexpected venue recently rebuilt by Danish artist Thomas Hejlesen.
This event is part of No Place Is An Island, a new, global literary festival on Bornholm Island in Denmark, July 12-13, 2024. Founded by boutique literary nonprofit The Write Salon, the festival is organized in partnership with creative hub Kjøllergaard and Østersø Sonics.
