Several contributors will be there to discuss topics such as the place of Icelandic literature in world literature and its international influence in Winnipeg and elsewhere. All are welcome to attend - but please note that (for those who may be smuggling exotic animals, for example) there is a security scan at the entrance. Thanks are due to the Icelandic Department and UMIH for their support of the research being presented here, as well a to AASSC who run the journal (scancan.net).
