In a debate article in Aftonbladet, seven authors from the writing collective Bröd och Rosor question whether the Sweden-Israel Friendship Association is once again being allowed to participate in the Gothenburg Book Fair.
EntertainmentThe book fair has been inaugurated, just like last year, after debate and a police report over the Sweden-Israel Friendship Association's program items. It is important to be able to meet and talk, says the association's chairman, David Lega.
EntertainmentThis year's book fair wants to rally support for public education, which is under heavy pressure. But the gaming world is also being invited onto the fair floor for the first time. "I love that it's spreading in so many directions," says book fair director Oskar Ekström.
EntertainmentThe organizers behind the manifestation during the Book Fair in Gothenburg had nothing to do with the posters that hung out Swedish journalists and media executives. This is stated by the author Balsam Karam, from Bröd och rosor.
EntertainmentThis year's book fair in Gothenburg attracted 95,700 visitors, which is the largest number since before the pandemic, according to P4 Gothenburg.
EntertainmentWhen the Book Fair's CEO Oskar Ekström summarizes this year's edition, he highlights a strong presence of love themes, new audience groups and many good conversations – but this year's fair has also received criticism. We will evaluate and see what we can learn for next year, he says.
EntertainmentThe Book Fair created headlines already before the opening. At the same time, the fair welcomes debate around, among other things, the war in Gaza, according to the fair manager Oskar Ekström. The Book Fair must have room for a lot, he says.
