The literary magazine Vinduet and LitFestBergen have invited four authors from four different continents (Tishani Doshi, India; Abubakar Adam Ibrahim, Nigeria; Johannes Anyuru, Sweden; Gabriela Wiener, Peru) to write personal essays on the festival theme ‘Truth’.
"Instead of more poetry anthologies about love, they should create anthologies of the greatest lies we have been told," Peruvian author Gabriela Wiener states in the essay "18 Medias Verdades" ("18 half-truths").
