Pasi Jääskeläinen - Secret Passages in a Hillside Town

Dorthe Nors

Translated by Misha Hoekstra

‘Sonja is a thoroughly modern heroine… nothing at all like Bridget Jones. Comical and clever, with a knife-twist of uneasiness’

KARATE CHOP

Dorthe Nors

Translated by Martin Aitken

‘Beautiful, faceted, haunting stories… Dorthe Nors is fantastic!’

MINNA NEEDS REHEARSAL SPACE

Dorthe Nors

Translated by Misha Hoekstra

‘Darkly funny and incisive’

MY CAT YUGOSLAVIA

Pajtim Statovci

Translated by David Hackston

‘A strange, haunting, and utterly original exploration of displacement and desire… a marvel, a remarkable achievement’

THE STOCKHOLM TRILOGY

1. CLINCH

2. DOWN FOR THE COUNT

3. SLUGGER

Martin Holmén

Translated by Henning Koch

‘Ferociously noir… If Chandler and Hammett had truly walked on the wild side, it would read like Clinch ’

A WORLD GONE MAD

The Wartime Diaries of Astrid Lindgren, Author of Pippi Longstocking

Translated by Sarah Death

Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir

Translated by Brian FitzGibbon

‘Funny and wistful… very moving, layered and optimistic’

THE RABBIT BACK LITERATURE SOCIETY

Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläinen
