SUMMARY:Nordic Noir Book Discussion: Crime\, Culture and the Scandinavian 
 Imagination
LOCATION:St. Andrews Office Facility Classroom 30\, 1515 St. Andrews Drive
 \, Lawrence\, KS
DESCRIPTION:Nordic noir - crime fiction from Denmark\, Norway\, Sweden\, I
 celand and Finland - has become a globally influential literary phenomeno
 n in the past 50 years. Most readers encounter it without any sense of th
 e rich cultural and historical tradition behind it: the Marxist origins o
 f the genre\, the Viking literary heritage\, the peculiar social codes of
  Scandinavian egalitarianism\, and the welfare state and its discontents.
  In four sessions we cover six interlocking themes through four landmark 
 novels and 45 minutes of open\, book-club-style conversation each week.\n
 \nInstructor Bio: Vic Peterson is the author of "The Berserkers" (Hawkwoo
 d 2022/Recital 2023)\, set in a fictional Nordic country. He worked as a 
 business executive and now divides his time between Lawrence\, Kansas\, a
 nd Northport\, Michigan.\n\nAn Osher membership fee of $25 is required to
