TERRIFYING & BEAUTIFUL
– an evening of The Secret History and Dark Academia
A talk by Moa Ekbom & Nene Ormes
To celebrate the new anthology on ­Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, the first one in ­Swedish, we invite you to an evening of ­(im)mortal, terrifying beauty, with Moa Ekbom (editor) and Nene Ormes (contributor) in conversation with Else Mikkelsen Båge (PhD stud.) from the bookshop.
"Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely? To throw off the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves?"
🗓️ Saturday 11 October at 17:30
🎟️ Tickets 75:-, incl. tea. Book your ticket today – limited space!
The Swedish edition of ”Oavsett vad vi kallar skönhet : studier av Donna Tartts roman Den hemliga historien” will be available at the event. Published by Appell Förlag.
