Join us for our next talk in our Meet the Author series. On January 23rd, Swedish authors Ingrid Wall and Joachim Wall will discuss their book A Silenced Voice: The Life of Journalist Kim Wall (2019), a moving memoir of an inexplicable crime, a familys loss, and a legacy preserved. The talk is moderated by Dr. Elizabeth DeNoma.
Kim Wall was a thirty-year-old Swedish freelance journalist with a rising career. Then, in the summer of 2017, she followed a story that led to an eccentric inventor in Copenhagen. Instead of writing the next days headline, shed become one.
As the bizarre events of Kims murder unfolded, the world watched in shocked disbelief. For Kims distraught parents, Ingrid and Joachim, it was a devastating personal struggle. In the ensuing months, day by grueling day, they had to come to terms with their loss, process the global media attention, and endure the investigation and trial. In the end, theyd make certain that Kim would be seen not only as a victim but as a bright, funny, complicated, ethical, and selfless young womana loved and loving daughter, sister, fiancée, colleague, and friend.
Kim Walls life and promise may have been cut short, but everything she stood for lives on in this emotional memoir of braving the worst of days, moving forward, and never forgetting.
The Investigation, a Swedish show about the police investigation to recover Kim Walls body and prosecute Madsen, streams in the US on HBO Max starting February 1. While this is not a direct adaptation of A Silenced Voice, the Wall family was involved in the making of this show.
