Author Talk with Ulrik Gräs // About his writing and his hometown

What significance do the places we come from have for the stories we tell? And how can literature help shape our perspective on ourselves and the world we live in? These are some of the questions we will explore when author Ulrik Gräs visits ENGEN for a conversation about his writing, the importance of literature, and his connection to Vejle.

During the event, we will discuss his books, sources of inspiration, and experiences with writing. We will also examine how Vejle, its people, and its environments have left their mark on his life and literature.

There will be room for personal anecdotes, literary perspectives, and questions from the audience.

It is not necessary to have read the short story to participate. If you would like to receive the short story in advance, you can email Anders at andea@vejlebib.dk.
