In partnership with the Center for Writers and Translators, we are delighted to present Norway鈥檚 most celebrated contemporary writer, Gunnhild 脴yehaug, in conversation on her latest collection of short fiction Evil Flowers. Across its 25 stories, 脴yehaug renovates the form again and again, confirming Lydia Davis鈥檚 observation that each of her fictions is 鈥渁 formal surprise, smart and droll.鈥 Inspired by Charles Baudelaire, the groundbreaking book features an ornithologist whose brain slips into the toilet bowl, medicinal leeches that ingest information from fiberoptic cables, and an elderly woman who is trapped with a ravenous lion. Join us as we step inside 脴yehaug鈥檚 wonderfully imaginative mind and explore the marvelous new directions she has paved for short fiction.
