Lecture: Jes Stein Pedersen & the man in literature

What to know

It's about being a man. About fathers, sons, relationships, roles, masculinity and identity, when we invite you to a "men's evening" in literature with Jes Stein Pedersen, Politiken's literature editor and local Birkerød citizen. And all genders are of course welcome.. Can we meet ourselves in literature, reflect on our experiences, see movements in time? Absolutely yes, says Jes Stein Pedersen, who this evening - precisely on 'International Men's Day' - opens his overflowing bookcase filled with fantastic men's literature. Look forward to rediscovering the classics that still speak to us. And to meeting the strong literary names that are shaking up masculine identity in literature right now. It will be an evening enriched by authors such as: Ernest Hemingway, Kjeld Westö, Karl Ove Knausgård, Geir Gulliksen, Jens Chr Grondahl, Jan Sonnergaard, Henrik List, Klaus Lynggård, Theis Ørntoft, Felix Thorsen Katzenelson, Sally Rooney, Rachel Cusk and Annie Ernaux. - Date: 19 November 2026 - Time: 19:00–21:00 - Venue: Birkerød Bibliotek - Address: Stationsvej 38, Birkerød, Denmark - Admission: From DKK 50
