Hope, fear and longing in the new America

What to know

Hear Clement Kjersgaard speak about trends in today's USA A few days before what promises to be a dramatic midterm election, Clement Kjersgaard visits the library with a lecture about the superpower he has covered in depth for 20 years. In recent years, we in Europe - and not least in Denmark - have spent a tremendous amount of time dealing with Donald Trump. But there is much about the United States that we still have difficulty understanding, even though a number of the trends that have changed the United States are in the process of changing our own societies as well. The lecture is arranged in collaboration with the magazines RÆSON and ÆRA, which Clement Kjersgaard publishes, and which has a special offer for participants in connection with the event: Events are part of the Nonfiction Festival 2026. - Date: 30 October 2026 - Time: 20:00–21:30 - Venue: Stadsbiblioteket i Lyngby - Address: Lyngby Hovedgade 28, Kongens Lyngby, Denmark - Admission: Free
