11:00 ”The Whatifs” – storytelling from Minnesota for children
Start the day with a storytelling by author Emily Kilgore (a former Uppsala resident, now living in Minnesota) as she reads from her latest book. The Whatifs is about Cora and her Whatifs: little creatures that weigh her down with fear and worry-filled thoughts until she learns to shift her fears into positive, wonder-filled questions. A timely picture book about overcoming anxiety.

18:00 ”Poetry and Punk Rock in NYC” – a talk by Daniel Kane
In his book Do You Have a Band?, Daniel Kane reads deeply across poetry and punk music to capture the compelling exchange in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, between New York City poets and musicians that played together, published each other, and inspired one another to create groundbreaking art. Talk and Q&A. Daniel is the new Professor of American Literature at Uppsala Universitet, and has just moved here from New York.

While growing up in West Belfast, Sean does everything he’s supposed to do. He works hard, he studies, and he – mostly – stays out of trouble. The thirty-year conflict is over, he’s told, and his future is lit with promise. But when Sean returns home from university, he finds much of the same – the same friends doing the same gear in the same clubs, the same fathers and brothers missing… One night, he assaults a stranger at a party, and everything begins to come undone.
Close to Home begins with this sudden act of violence and expands into a startling portrait of working-class Ireland under the long shadow of the Troubles. // Discuss in the Fiction reading group //

How to put a positive spin on a murder mystery... What happens when a ghostwriter for the rich and famous lands the ultimate gig: writing the memoir of a disgraced presidential candidate? Our witty, nosy narrator arrives at a secluded estate to meet Dorothy Gibson, the fallen political star everyone’s talking about. But when a neighbor turns up dead, the ghostwriter finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery she never saw coming. Add in a secret investigation, a suspiciously handsome man, and a plot twist no one expected – and suddenly, the story she’s writing becomes her own.
Perfect for fans of Knives Out and Agatha Christie, this clever, twisty mystery is full of surprises. // Discuss in the Crime reading group in Göteborg //
