Infidelity!

What makes infidelity one of literature’s most enduring – and most entertaining – themes? In a sharp and humorous essay, Selma Lønning Aarø takes us from the prohibitions and punishments of the Bible to contemporary self-revealing novels. How has the view of betrayal, desire and double lives changed throughout literary history? And why do authors keep returning to the same subject matter?

This promises to be a playful deep dive into literary history, from the moralistic to the masterful.

The talk will be held in Norwegian.
