Interview - Helle Helle (2015)
We were delighted to meet the wonderful Danish writer Helle Helle before her Book Festival event in Charlotte Square Gardens to talk about her first novel to be translated into English, This Should Be Written in the Present Tense. We asked some audience members afterwards what they thought about the event. You can see Helle's hour-long event here on our website and on edbookfest's youtube channel, filmed live as part of Trading Stories at the 2015 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
