Hvordan påvirker migration, kolonialisme og tabet af hjemstavn litteraturen - og ikke mindst livet mellem kulturer? På Heartland 2025 mødes Nobelprisvinder Abdulrazak Gurnah i en samtale om de historier, der har formet hans forfatterskab og hans liv.
Født på Zanzibar og flygtet til Storbritannien som 18-årig, har Gurnah med sine romaner skab en unik indsigt i livet som flygtning mellem kontinenter, i kolonialismens arv og de menneskelige konsekvenser heraf. I samtalen dykker han ned i temaer som migration, tilhørsforhold, identitet og de komplekse fortællinger, der væver sig gennem hans værker.
Abdulrazak Gurnah (f. 1948) modtog i 2021 Nobelprisen i litteratur for sin poetiske og politiske prosa, der afdækker kolonialismens dybe spor og giver et sjældent indblik i menneskers liv mellem kulturer. Hans hovedværker inkluderer Paradis (1994) og Ved Havet (2021), som begge blev nomineret til The Booker Prize. Med afsæt i sin kommende roman Tyveri undersøger Gurnah litteraturens kraft til at fortælle om tab, migration og identitet.
Samtalen modereres af Klaus Rothstein, journalist ved Weekendavisen, og præsenteres i samarbejde med L’OR.
