A World Class Seminar Programme

Seminars are the heart and soul of the Book Fair. Writers, philosofers, thinkers, politicians and artists from all over the world meet to talk about books, current events and issues and the big questions of life in front of an enthusiastic and knowledgeable public. The Scandinavian literature always has a central role at the Fair.

Every year the Seminar Programme has its own unique focus. The Göteborg Book Fair 2010 will focus on Africa and African literature.

Together with writers, publishers, media, organisations and companies from Scandinavia and Africa, we look forward to presenting the richness of African literature to the public in Scandinavia.
