Join us for a literary conversation with Nanna Holm about "Røde Port", a captivating novel about children who became adults far too early, and about adults who never managed to be the adults the children needed. Meet author Nanna Holm in a conversation with librarian Marianne Träff about her debut novel Røde Port. Røde Port is a powerful novel about friendship, longing and the ghosts of childhood. The story takes place at a leisure group on Langeland in the late 1980 s, the adults dream big and party late, while the children have to navigate through unsafe days and nights. The children Aske, Gry and Mona grow up in a collective that is intended as a sanctuary characterized by community, political and social awareness. But the ideals are crumbling, and the place develops into an environment with awkward relationships, lack of responsibility, and borderline behavior. Decades later, the three childhood friends are still struggling with the consequences of that fateful summer at the Red Gate. - Date: 18 November 2026 - Time: 17:00–18:30 - Venue: Kulturium Bibliotek - Address: Ishøj Bycenter, Ishøj Store Torv 1, Ishøj, Denmark - Admission: Free
