Chaired special festival edition of the Litfest International Fiction Book Club, in which we welcomed the acclaimed Norwegian writer Roy Jacobsen to discuss The Unseen.

Roy Jacobsen has twice been nominated for the Nordic Council’s Literary Award, and in 2009 was shortlisted for the Dublin IMPAC Award for his novel The Burnt-Out Town of Miracles. The Unseen was shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize in 2017.
