As part of my research about Greenlandic literature I would like to exhibit a poster concerning a short story "NASA's most secret secret" written by a young Greenlandic author, Kelly Berthelsen. The poster will give headlines of the development of the Greenlandic literature, which apart from hymns started in the beginning of the 20th century.
Berthelsen's story will be analyzed and the analysis of the story will relate it to the general tendencies in the Greenlandic literature, especially the tendencies during the last decade. Copies of the story rendered in English will be available and a video with an interview with the author will be shown on spot.
