QUEER DIALOGUE

Author Theodor Hildeman Togner invites you to an evening of readings, talks and speed reading centered on the theme of queer dialogue in literature. Together with authors Hanna-Linnea Hannu (formerly Rengfors) and Anna Nygren, they will discuss queer dialogue, read dialogues out of their works, and additionally invite the audience to read written dialogue.

Theodor Hildeman Togner, Anna Nygren, and Hanna-Linnea Hannu will read dialogues from their novels together and have a conversation about writing queer dialogue.
