Festival director Marit Borkenhagen rejoices: Stuart will come to the Norwegian Festival of Literature in June. Now we look forward to hearing him delve into this, as well as his latest novel Young Mungo, which revolves around a fatherless boy, masculinity, and queer love, says Susanne Kaluza, general manager of the Litteraturhuset Foundation. His first novel, Shuggie Bain, is a brilliant book about alcoholism and exclusion, about hope and a mother’s love. – We are incredibly pleased to announce that Douglas Stuart will finally be visiting the House of Literature after corona put an end to the visit this autumn! We know Stuart has a big audience in Norway. New dates have finally been nailed down, and he will visit the House of Literature in Oslo on 31 May before moving on to Lillehammer. Postponed by the pandemicĭouglas Stuart was initially supposed to visit Norway last autumn, but due to the pandemic, the visit was postponed. The book is a beautiful and brutal love story about young men who fight to be who they are and love who they want, says Gyldendal publishing director Cathrine Bakke Bolin. The visit to Norway is celebrated with the launch of Young Mungo, his new novel, which is receiving spectacular pre-readings in the US these days. Stuart writes nakedly about class, neglect, and outsiders. Shuggie Bain met Norwegian readers with a fist punch last year and became a major international event, topped with the Booker Prize 2020. – We are ecstatic that Douglas Stuart is finally coming to Norway. The author became a star overnight when he won the Booker Prize in 2020. He will first visit the House of Literature in Oslo and then the Norwegian Festival of Literature.

It’s confirmed: Douglas Stuart, the author of the sensation Shuggie Bain, is coming to Norway.
