Høgni Mohr

Høgni Mohr (born in Tórshavn 8 October 1968) is a Faroese author. A mechanic by trade, who also studied export technology, Mohr has been a keen writer since his early years.[1]

Mohr has worked for most newspapers in the Faroe Islands and has also been published in Danish and Icelandic national newspapers.
 He spent several years working as a radio and TV reporter with Faroese national broadcaster KvF. He has also worked for the BBC and Al Jazeera and has hosted nature programmes for Vice Media, as well as appearing in a Huffington Post programme.

Lexicography

  • 2006: Ali babba og 49 aðrar blaðgreinir, Øgiliga egið forlag 2013: Sannleikin um ástarævintýrið (translator and editor), Øgiliga egið forlag.

Høgni Mohr has his very own style of writing. His texts are colourful, sincere and often incredibly entertaining. It is obvious to the reader that the author truly enjoys writing, and you can almost visualise the pleasure he feels as he comes up with his offbeat expressions. I hope his texts will be used in schools as an example of outstanding writing.
