Today on RÚV English Radio, moving away, and coming home.
Dr. Karítas Hrundar Pálsdóttir is a previous guest on RÚV English Radio, talking about her "Vikuspá" collection of short stories (https://www.ruv.is/english/2025-11-04-ruv-english-radio-dr-karitas-hrundar-palsdottir-icelandic-easy-language-fiction-457810) for adult learners of Icelandic as a second language.
She's written a new and very different book, called "Readaptation Narratives in Sojourner Literature" (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-032-01340-8), which examines the literature of sojourners: migrants who travel freely and by choice, but struggle with the experience of returning home.
Darren met Karítas to hear more.
