About this event

Large Meeting Room, downstairs. The Ferryman & His Wife by Frode Grytten, translated by Alison McCullough The devastating English-language debut from Grytten concerns a Norwegian man who wakes up one rainy November morning in his house on a fjord knowing it will be the day he dies. Nils Vik's knowledge of his fate is not explained, but he's resigned to it as he prepares to take his ferry boat out to sea. As the journey progresses and more sad and happy memories arise, Grytten skillfully weaves his wistful protagonist's life story without ever leaning on sentimentality. We always welcome new members; simply join us at our meeting! The Ferryman and His Wife
