We are delighted that novelist Kathrine Nedrejord will join us to discuss聽厂补尘别辫谤辞产濒别尘别迟听(The Sami Problem), which was awarded the 2024 Brage Prize鈥攖he leading prize for fiction in Norway鈥攁s well as the 2025 Per Olov Enquist Literary Prize, which recognizes a young聽 European writer on the cusp of an international breakthrough. In their citation, the POE Prize jurors聽praise how聽Sameproblemet聽"challenges the boundaries of what literature can be ... Nedrejord writes sharply and analytically about the long-standing and ongoing oppression of Sami culture, identity, and language. At the same time, it is an unconditional declaration of love to generations of women who have defied experiences of oppression and marginalization, making it a stirring and shocking book in which historical reality clashes with artistic fiction. Nedrejord demonstrates a superb ability to write about the intersections between society and the individual." Kathrine Nedrejord is a writer and playwright. She has Sami with roots in Kj酶llefjord in Finnmark, but has lived in Paris since 2011. She made her debut in 2010 with the novel聽Transitt聽and has since published the novels 罢谤别苍驳蝉别濒听(2014),听Forvandlinga聽(2018) and聽Forbryter og punishment聽(2022), which was nominated for the Nordic Council Literature Prize.
