STOCKHOLM | Thursday 5th November at 19:00 (ticketed event)

We are super excited about this visit in the Stockholm shop – this author’s first novel completely blew our socks off! His name is Max Porter, and he’s a senior editor at Granta Books and Portobello Books. He previously managed an independent bookshop and won the Young Bookseller of the Year award. We’ve invited him from London to come and discuss his debut novel Grief is the Thing with Feathers.

Come and let us treat you to a cosy ghostly evening!

Listen to Sam and Paul Kassel as they read a couple of classic horror stories, and maybe you have one or two of your own favorites to tell? Join us for a tea and cake and candle light. No tricks – we promise! Or…?

Welcome all 3-6 year olds for a special Halloween storytelling with Hannah in the Uppsala shop.

No need to sign up, just show up at the shop and join the fun.

STOCKHOLM Breakfast Talk, Saturday 24th October at 10:00

Binyavanga Wainaina is a Kenyan author, journalist and winner of the Caine Prize for African Writing. In April 2014, Time magazine included Wainaina in its annual TIME 100 as one of the ”Most Influential People in the World”. Earlier that year, as a response to a series of anti-gay laws being passed in Africa, Wainaina had publicly announced that he was gay, publishing a short story titled ”I am a homosexual, Mum”.

A really good story can be told over and over again.
