A weekend to celebrate Icelandic summer

In Iceland, the first day of summer is traditionally celebrated between April 19th and 26th with a festival called Sumardagurinn fyrsti – during which, to be honest, it can still be quite chilly.

On this occasion, the Ísland gallery is hosting the SAGAS exhibition by photographer Olivier Joly and meetings are being organized around his work and Icelandic literature, which is very present in the editorial news at the beginning of this year.

  • Friday, April 26 at 7 p.m.

Evening of sharing around Icelandic literature

Les Déferlantes bookstore, 9, place de Viarmes, Morlaix

with Lénaïg Jézéquel (Les Déferlantes), Olivier Joly, Félicie Louf ( Locquire Writers' Circle - CEL), and Pascale Thomas (Ísland).

Icelanders don't just write depressing, snowy thrillers! Come discover the diversity of their literary output, recently translated authors, and literary greats through readings and discussions.
