Danica supplied the photo today when we went to hear 4 authors interviewed about their thriller murder novels. Norway’s Thomas Enger, Sweden’s Dan T. Sehlberg and Denmark’s Jakob Melander were billed as The Striking Vikings. Dutchman Herman Koch rounded out the panel, even though he’s a neighbour, not an actual Scandinavian. Glad they included him. He has a good sense of humour.
Humour figured largely in the proceedings, in fact, and the talks were entertaining. Each author read from the first pages of their latest books. Gripping stuff. They also answered questions about their work habits, fears, anxieties and inspirations. Noah Richler hosted very capably and kept it light.
