Mímir and Alcohol

Mímir Kristjánsson can't remember how old he was when he realised he was going to have a drinking problem, but that was long before he actually tasted alcohol. In the book Pabbi. En familiesaga om drukkenskap (Pabbi. A family saga about drunkenness), Kristjánsson tells the story of a father who drank too much, and a family that has been drunk since the time of Egil Skallagrimsson.Was it a foregone conclusion that Kristjánsson would become a drunkard? And why doesn’t one just stop drinking if one can? 

Meet Kristjánsson for a conversation about the joys and despair of alcohol with literature professor Frode Helmich Pedersen.

This event will be in Norwegian.
