(Dagbladet): – I have waited a long time for someone to say something about this, but nothing came, so then I would ease my heart, says author Birger Emanuelsen Dagbladet.
Literature train in 2016, led by Crown Princess Mette-Marit , went from Bergen on June 1, and had final stop in Oslo on Friday with a closing event at the house of Literature in the capital.
It was VG who first publicized case.
Along for the ride Norges bokelskende kronprinsesse partly held talks with well-known writers and told about their favorite books.
“It aims to inspire a love of reading and the love of reading,” writes the Royal Family on their websites.
– Need a image
It was yesterday Emanuelsen came with their fresh views on what he thinks is the royal house negative “interference” in Norwegian literature:
– I can not see what the Crown Princess will supply Norwegian literature. However, I do very well what Norwegian literature and Norwegian authors should supply her. A much needed image, wrote Emanuelsen in a critical post on his Facebook profile.
He thinks Norwegian writers lend their credibility to the royal house.
Dagbladet expands the award-winning author criticism:
– This is not about Mette-Marit that person or authors who are helping Literature train. Post is about what writer role should be in a Norwegian public that is steeped in strategies, considerations and posisjonsmakeri. The literature is one of the last free space where voices that do not reach the public normally arrives, says author Dagbladet.
– Should provide scholarships
Emanuelsen thinks it’s funny that no one else has mentioned this.
– Norway is not without class distinctions. Not everyone has the same conditions for success, and access to power circles. Royal Family occupying half a billion on the state budget, and both our and other European royal families are now under pressure. It’s nice that they will be unifying, but they also have a political project on time.
– Literature train carried to legitimize this power relationship, and writers who lend their credibility to what I mean ask if too little back. Had Mette-Marit really cared, she had set 50 million in grants for Norwegian authors, continues Emanuelsen.
– You write yourself that you may have bitter because you not invited. Are you bitter?
– All authors are bitter and vain. There is a reason why I started writing, but quite serious: This means something to me. The royal family is nice and Mette-Marit is a skilled communicator of literature, but we must not lose track of who they are and position of power they possess. Then we will be reduced to a voice for power and lose resilience we should possess.
Mette-Marit: – Invites not
Crown Princess told the NTB last night that she did not read the post to Emanuelsen.
– He criticizes literature train for not doing anything for Norwegian literature?
– Then he must almost be at one of the stops next year, because I think he would have had a different opinion if he had been there, said Mette-Marit.
– Was that an invitation?
– No, I invite on a slightly different basis than the head in a facebook article, said Mette-Marit as having ended this year litteraturtog hope she has inspired increased interest in reading among Norwegians.
– I hope that a few more takes up a book. I hope we are helping to create a debate about literature, helps to ensure that people want to talk about the books they read, share more of the books they read. It has been important for us to talk about books on social media during the trip, said the Crown Princess.
– Sent on Facebook
Head of Communications at the Royal Palace, Marianne Hagen, writing to an e-mail Dagbladet that the Crown Princess is “very interested in literature, and literature as key to understanding the world and themselves.”
– Our time is full of noise and interruptions and the analog book has strong competition. This year’s theme is outside the closet. The Crown Princess has repeatedly begins talking about how to find community in the books. She is particularly concerned about how literature can ease the pressure on young people by addressing taboos and shame, says Hagen continues:
– The meetings between Crown Princess and writers Libraries and Literature will be aired live on the royal house Facebook. In this way, all participate and hear authors without journalists’ filter.
