An evening with Åsne Seierstad - interviewed by Eva Bratholm

Åsne Seierstads book 'The Bookseller of Kabul', its content and method, has created a extensive debate in Norway as well as in Europe and the United States. It has recently been published in the US and we are happy to invite everyone interested to an evening with Eva Bratholm and Åsne Seierstad at the Norwegian Seamen's Church. Eva Bratholm is currently working as a correspondent in New York for the norwegian newspaper Dagladet and is well known in Norway, not the least for hosting the program 'Bokbadet' at NRK (the Norwegian Broadcasting Cooperation) - interviewing authors from Norway and abroad. Åsne Seierstad is a freelance journalist and author who traveled to Afghanistan in 2001 to work as a war correspondent for Scandinavian press. She has received several awards for her work.
This evening you will also have the opportunity to hear the Afghan artist Rohani play the traditional instrument Rubab. After the program there will be a reception sponsored by The Royal Norwegian Consulate General.
