Vigdis Hjorth: ‘I have a kind of self-conversation’ (1:2)

Through her work, Vigdis Hjorth has ‘a kind of self-conversation’. In this first part of our interview with the prize-winning Norwegian author, we sit down in her house on Nesøya – a small island in Asker, near Oslo – on a snowy afternoon for a conversation about her writing process, Søren Kierkegaard, and alcohol.

Host: Rasmus Meldgaard Harboe
