Interview made by Sean Creed
In 2012 novelist
and performance poet Louise Halvardsson turned 30, but instead of throwing a
big party, she embarked on a journey through everyday life of people in England
and Sweden. She stayed with 30 different people during 30 weeks and asked each
person 30 questions about nothing and everything all at once.
But she
didn’t just stay with those people – she actually tried to live their lives,
shadowing them at work as well as at play. The aim was to write a book about
cultural differences, but in the end it turned out to be more of a personal
quest – whether to settle in England or Sweden. At the time of the interview
the author was yet to make her decision.
