And I am the Lemonade King.Įvan Treski is people-smart. The world is a thirsty place, he thought as he nearly emptied his fourth pitcher of the day. As it captures the one-of-a-kind bond between brother and sister, this poignant novel also subtly explores how arguments can escalate beyond anyone’s intent.įor a full hour, he poured lemonade. The fact that Nicolas Lunabba will speak about “The power of literature and a better future for the local youth” sums up exactly what kind of book fair this is.Here is a clever blend of humor, math wizardry, and business know-how. Now he has written a book about his daughter’s radicalization: “Amanda – my daughter’s journey to IS” and will speak about it.


In addition to Shire, acclaimed debutante Nicolas Lunabba from Malmö, Nora Khalil, who wrote the August-nominated youth novel “Yani”, but also journalist Petter Larsson, who will talk about his acclaimed book “Riggat” and Patricio Galves, from the film “Children of the enemy”, will come to this year’s fair. They solve their mission, namely to “reflect the diversity of literature and society” with flying colors. Literature’s often stark white and supposedly exclusive rooms, located inside the city, must be actively opposed, and there Angered’s book fair at Blå Stället makes an important contribution. Since Angered’s book fair started, the fair at Blå Stället has become a welcome feature in the Literary City of Gothenburg. And made strong, lovely and annihilating poems out of them. In the poems in the debut book “Lära min mor føda” Shire has also collected the testimonies of his relatives about migration, trauma, grief and war. But already during the refugee crisis in 2015, her poem “Home” went viral. Shire, born in 1988, is thus the poet whose poems Beyoncé based her visual album Lemonade on from 2016. I got a ticket immediately when I found out that she was coming, because I thought that a chance like this should not be missed.īut then it turns out that the book fair in Angered, which opens today, Saturday, and which celebrates five years this year, has also invited Shire. It was packed when the British star poet Warsan Shire performed at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern in Stockholm on Wednesday.
