American thriller writer Peter Swanson's largely acclaimed debut was The Girl with a Clock for a Heart (Pigen med det Tidsindstillede Hjerte); a novel pumped with vicious power, identity theft, sex and romance, pitiless beatings, murder and mystery. In January, Swanson's second book The Kind Worth Killing was translated into Danish, and will be released in the spring. Swanson says his novels are strongly influenced by the epic thriller style that particularly characterized Alfred Hitchcock movies, and will discuss how his own writing and other postmodern writers have borrowed thread from the horror master of them all.

Peter Swanson will be interviewed by Nanna Rørdam Knudsen; a great crime fiction fan and editor at the publishing house Modtryk.

The event is part of the Århundredets festival.

The talk will be in English.

Tickets 50 kr. Students 30 kr.
