Ragnar Hovland and Steffen Kverneland from Haugesund are marking the publication of Astrup with a book launch at Høvleriet. Together, they have created a boundless and humorous biography of the artist Nikolai Astrup, in which historical facts are intertwined with absurd events and unexpected questions.
On-stage discussion
Throughout the book, the reader follows the two authors on a journey through Jølster, where the search for new stories about Astrup takes increasingly unpredictable turns. During the event, author Ruth Lillegraven will lead a discussion with Hovland and Kverneland about the book and the process behind it.
