Join us at Elliot Bay Company for a talk with Sámi-Swedish writer Linnea Axelsson, the winner of Sweden’s most prestigious literary award, as she makes her American debut with an epic, multigenerational novel-in-verse about two Sámi families and their quest to stay together across a century of migration, violence, and colonial trauma. Axelsson will discuss Ædnan with local author and friend of the store Sasha LaPointe and Pacific Sámi Searvi board member Amy Elizabeth Swanson King. This event is co-presented with the Swedish Arts Council, the Swedish Club, the Swedish Finn Historical Society, and the Pacific Sámi Searvi.
This is free event, but books can be purchased on the Elliot Bay Book Company website or in the store: Elliott Bay Book Company | Events
