The traveling Letters from the World festival
The itinerant festival Lettres du monde was born from the desire to promote and disseminate foreign literature in New Aquitaine. Every year, in mid-November, the festival brings together around twenty foreign and French writers, translators and publishers. For 10 days, the invited authors travel to New Aquitaine for a program of literary meetings with the public. They are organized in partnership with book and public reading professionals such as libraries, media libraries and independent bookstores, but also schools and universities.
Aslak Nore was born in 1978 and grew up in Oslo.
After studying at the New School for Social Research in New York, he joined the elite Norwegian Telemark battalion in Bosnia, before working as a journalist in the Middle East and Afghanistan.
Aslak Nore, author of several bestsellers
Author of several bestsellers in Norway, he enjoyed success in France from his first book, The sea cemetery (The noise of the world, 2023).
He now lives in Marseille. The Letters from the World festival, titled this year 'De beaux matins', takes place from November 13 to 26, 2024 in New Aquitaine.
