Nordic literature at Göteborg Book Fair 2012

Next year Göteborg Book Fair will be a true Nordic cultural manifestation! In
cooperation with the Nordic Council and the Nordic Council of Ministers, as well as different organisations and publishers from the Nordic region, the Book Fair will focus on Nordic literature in 2012.

-Interest in Nordic literature is growing and growing. And so is interest in the Nordic way of life. We have many things to share and much to discuss with others. The internationally renowned Göteborg Book Fair is a wonderful venue for this during 2012, a year of many different anniversaries, commented Halldór Ásgrimsson, General Secretary of the Nordic Council of Ministers, and Jan-Erik Enestam, President of the Nordic Council.

In 2012 the Nordic Council celebrates its 60th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of the awarding of the first Nordic Council literature prize, while 40 plus one years have
gone since the Nordic countries agreed to cooperate at a ministerial level, and founded the Nordic Council of Ministers.

Göteborg Book Fair 2012 takes place the 27th-30th September
