And this is just a few of the exciting events included in the 2010 African theme. When we began discussing African literature as a possible theme about four years ago, we felt slightly overwhelmed by the concept. Could it really be possible to present an overview of literature from a continent with 53 countries? Thanks to the tireless efforts of our main partner, the Nordic Africa Institute, our doubts were gradually whittled away and replaced with pride in a program which holds up a multifaceted mirror to Africa’s literature, and displays it in all its diversity. But there is, of course, a world outside Africa. This year we welcome many other writers from the rest of the world, including Alexander McCall Smith, Erica Jong, Andrew Taylor, Claude Izner, Kitty Crowther, Catherine Merridale and Ian Buruma, to name a few. Even then we haven’t mentioned all the Swedish and Scandinavian writers attending the Book Fair, but those are not listed in this <strong>programme</strong>. If you are interested in learning about Scandinavian authors on a professional basis, we recommend a visit to the International PHoTo: adam lundquisT Rights Centre (IRC), where foreign rights for the latest and most exciting Scandinavian books are negotiated during the Book Fair from Thursday to Saturday. Speaking of rights, copyright is one of the current hot topics, and this year we open the Book Fair with a conference devoted to it. On Wednesday 22nd September you can hear Santiago de la Mora, Head of Google Books Europe, talking about his own and Google’s views on public access and copyright, at our conference Google and the Future.
