About this event

About the Programme/Event

After her husband Eiolf’s unexpected death at fifty-four, Long Litt Woon struggled to imagine a life without the man who had been her partner and anchor for thirty-two years. Adrift in grief, she signed up for a beginner’s course on mushrooming—a course the two of them had planned to take together—and found, to her surprise, that the pursuit of mushrooms rekindled her zest for life. Join moderator Bridgette See as she talks to Long Litt Woon about her book, The Way Through the Woods: On Mushrooms and Mourning. 

About the Speakers

There she met and married Norwegian Eiolf Olsen. Her book The Way Through The Woods. Of Mushrooms and Mourning has been sold to 16 countries. She currently lives in Oslo, Norway. 

Bridgette See is a freelance writer, editor, producer and researcher. A former broadcast journalist and magazine editor, she enjoys asking the right questions to discover untold stories. She is always hungry for good reads and loves the great outdoors.
