Sólrún Michelsen
Sólrún Michelsen (* 1948 in Tórshavn ) is a Faroese writer and entrepreneur.
Life
Sólrún Michelsen grew up in Argir, today a district of Tórshavn . Her parents were Peter Midjord and Simona Midjord geb. Dam. She worked in various companies and after the birth of her three children initially concentrated on looking after them and running the household. In 1974 she and her husband, the Faroese businessman and politician Poul Michelsen , founded the wholesale company P / F Poul Michelsen / PM Heilsøla, which she ran for a long time. Since 2008 she has been working exclusively as a writer.
Her first publication was the children's book Argjafrensar in 1994 . “I wrote the book for my children, but someone sent it to a publisher. [...] I would never have dared to do that. "(Sólrún Michelsen in an interview with Petra Schellen)
In 2015 her first novel for adults was published under the title Tanz auf den Klippen in German, a “remarkable piece of literature [...], mainly because of the language that Sólrún Michelsen found for the images of her childhood [...], a language that is shining and brittle at the same time: a little like the landscape that evokes it, ”says the author and Scandinavian artist Klaus Böldl . In the same year Sólrún Michelsen was a guest with the novel at the Solothurn Literature Days and, together with the Danish writer Dorthe Nors, at the Nordic Literature Days in Hamburg.
