December 1 2023

Inger Bråtveit novel Starweed has sold to Bokförlaget Faethon in Sweden.

“I was incredibly impressed by Starweed; it’s a novel with a unique poetic luminosity where musicality and concentration intertwine with sagas, fables, and elements from nature. The fact that it will be coming out in Swedish – translated by poet and translator Marie Lundquist – makes me incredibly happy.” -Daniel Pedersen, publisher, Bokförlaget Faethon
