Kim Leine's THE PROPHETS OF ETERNAL FJORD was a whisker away from carrying off the 2017 International DUBLIN Literary Award, the world's biggest literary prize for a single book. Now the manuscript of its companion is delivered - the translation by Martin Aitken, RED MAN/BLACK MAN, to be published in the UK next year by @picadorbooks A huge and sprawling epic of 18th century Greenland. Visceral, gripping and poignant. And totally bonkers. #kimleine #martinaitken #interlingualzoo #picador #gyldendal #theprophetsofeternalfjord #rødmandsortmand #InternationalDublinLiteraryAward #dklit #translation #loveyourtranslator #bookstagram #instabook #booksofinsta https://www.instagram.com/p/B18MUqVhpbJ/?igshid=1aieyamxege33

Love by @hanne_orstavik Translated from Norwegian by Martin Aitken. Coming February 13, 2018 @archipelagobooks Love is the story of a single mother, Vibeke, and her son Jon, who have just moved to a remote small town in the north of Norway. It’s the day before Jon’s birthday, but with concerns of her own, Vibeke has forgotten this. With a man on her mind, she ventures to the local library while Jon goes out to sell lottery tickets for his sports club. From here on we follow the two individuals on their separate journeys through a cold winter’s night, their experiences nevertheless linked in seamless narrative. The reader is privy to each character’s intimate thoughts as suspense builds and tragedy looms. #hanneørstavik #love #kjærlighet #MartinAitken #interlingualzoo #archipelagobooks #edvardmunch #fantastiskeforsider #norwegianliterature #translation #loveyourtranslator #instabook #bookstagram (her: New York, New York)

@kimleine er blandt de sidste 10 på the shortlist - nomineret til The International Dublin Literary Award 2017 for The Prophets of Eternal Fjord i #MartinAitken s oversættelse #interlingualzoo #profeterneievighedsfjorden #fantastiskeforsider #dklit #Repost @atlanticbooks with @repostapp ・・・ Exciting news! We are very proud to announce that the gorgeous ‘The Prophets of Eternal Fjord’ has been shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award! Written by Kim Leine and translated from the original Danish by Martin Aitken, the novel follows the idealistic, misguided Morten Falck, a newly ordained priest sailing to Greenland in 1787 to convert the Inuit to the Danish church. A rugged outpost battered by harsh winters, Sukkertoppen is overshadowed by the threat of dissent; natives from neighboring villages have united to reject Danish rule and establish their own settlement atop Eternal Fjord. As Falck becomes involved with those in his care-his ambitious catechist, a lonely trader's wife, and a fatalistic widow he comes to love-his faith and reputation are dangerously called into question. #atlanticbooks #novel #dublinliteraryaway #internationaldublinliteraryaward #danish #booksintranslation #novels #literature #igbooks #igreads #books #newbooks #bookclub #reading #booklovers #bibliophile #instabooks #beautifulbooks #writersofig #writingcommunity #bookphotography #bookstagram #tubereads #bookblog #fiction #lit #bookworm

"Whoever might wish to put in for the Carlsberg Honorary Residence in Valby, 850 square metres with a full cellar and a park, free and for life, may profitably begin by securing the Nobel Prize in Physics. Andrea Fink did so at an early age and was therefore able to take on the house after Niels Bohr sometime in the 1960s, and to go on living in it for over fifty years. Now she is preparing to vacate it. She is dying. Most of us approach death reluctantly. Personally, I will face it screaming and with thrashing limbs. Andrea Fink proceeds towards it like an operatic diva might approach her final performance ..." Peter Høeg, The Susan Effect. Translated from the Danish by Martin Aitken.
