Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit is coming to the Leipzig Book Fair. She will be joined by some very well-known authors such as Karl Ove Knausgård, Lars Mytting and Linn Strømsborg, as the director of Norwegian Literature Abroad (Norla), Margit Walsø, said at a press conference for the Leipzig Book Fair at the Norwegian Embassy in Berlin. Norway is this year's guest country at the Leipzig Book Fair.
Mette-Marit is an avid reader. The promotion of Norwegian literature is one of the hobbyhorses of Crown Prince Haakon's wife. In 2017, she was chosen as an ambassador for Norwegian literature abroad. The Norwegian royal family writes about her that Mette-Marit is passionate about literature and wants to share her love of reading. She is personally convinced that there is a book for everyone.
