The Pulp and Quick of Life: Vigdis Hjorth and Eva Baltasar in Conversation

Writers of potent, electrifying, and candid novels – Vigdis Hjorth (If Only, trans. from Norwegian by Charlotte Barslund) and Eva Baltasar (Mammoth, trans from Catalan by Julia Sanches) – come together to discuss passion and disenchantment. If Only tells the story of a young woman who begins a tumultuous affair, a cascading fantasy that eventually shatters. In Baltasar’s Mammoth, a young lesbian moves to an abandoned farmhouse, befriends a shepherd, battles stray cats, and dabbles in sex work – all to seek out the pulp and quick of life. Hjorth and Baltasar ask pressing, urgent questions about how desire and ardent joy are wound up with creativity, creation, and philosophy. Moderated by Lily Philpott, writer and co-chair of the International Committee.
