Ida Frisch’s "Black Dog" sold to Denmark’s Batzer & Co
October 13 2025
We are over the moon to share that Ida Frisch’s Black Dog (Sort hund, Tiden) is heading to Denmark, where it will be published by Batzer & Co! 🇩🇰
Publisher Arild Batzer says:
“Once I started reading Black Dog, I couldn’t put it down, and ended up finishing it in one sitting. Reading it made me so happy—ecstatic, even! Black Dog is a refreshing and original novel that fits perfectly in our portfolio.”
Batzer is one of Denmark’s most prestigious publishing houses. Their authors include Elizabeth Strout, Jón Kalman Stefánsson, Jack Kerouac, and no fewer than six Nobel Prize-winners—including our own Jon Fosse. That’s some pretty impressive company to keep!
Congratulations to all! 🎉
