Banned books and dangerous words

What to know

Join the conversation at this exciting after-work event, where we focus on banned books and prohibited works. Historically, literature and the written word have been severely affected by censorship and bans. In recent years, we have even seen an increase in the number of banned books. For example, almost 6,000 books are now banned from schools in Florida, USA. We are not as radical in Europe and Denmark, but even here books, and not least the degree of freedom of expression, have often sparked great debate. Both today and historically. But what are the books and their authors that scare people so much? All of that, and more, is what local bookseller Daniel Fejerskov and librarian Jan M. Johansen delve into, based on Danish PEN's #Forbidden Books campaign that runs nationwide throughout October. - Date: 5 October 2026 - Time: 17:00–18:30 - Venue: Roskilde Bibliotek - Address: Dronning Margrethes Vej 14, Roskilde, Denmark - Admission: Free
