In a train compartment in Ogden, Utah, a Danish author was found unconscious. The 54-year-old Herman Bang was en route from New York to San Francisco as part of a round-the-world reading tour. It was a poignant end for a man whose life had been spent on the move. Having fled his birthplace on the island of Als ahead of the Prussian advance of 1864, he was later hounded out of Copenhagen, Berlin, Vienna and Prague by homophobic laws and hostility to his uncompromising social critique as journalist, novelist, actor and dramaturge. Dorrit Willumsen re-works Bang’s life story in a series of compelling flashbacks that unfold during his last fateful train ride across the USA. Winner of the Nordic Council Literature Prize, 1997. FORTHCOMING ILMAR TASKA POBEDA 1946 - A CAR CALLED VICTORY Translated by Christopher Moseley 978-1-909408-42-5 192 PAGES PAPERBACK £11.95 In 1946 Tallin a young boy is transfixed by the beauty of a luxurious cream- coloured car gliding down the street. It is a Russian Pobeda, a car called Victory. The sympathetic driver invites the boy for a ride and enquires about his family. Soon the boy's father disappears. Ilmar Taska's debut novel captures the distrust and fear among Estonians living under Soviet
occupation after World War II. The reader is transported to a world seen through the eyes of a young boy, where it is difficult to know who is right and who is wrong as both occupier and occupied - resistance fighters, exiles, informants and torturers - all live in Stalin's long shadow. 'An elegant novel about the reality of an occupied country.' Sofi Oksanen

Translated by Janet Garton 978-1-909408-17-3 348 PAGES PAPERBACK £12.95 Wilfred – alias Little Lord – is a privileged young man growing up in Oslo’s upper class in the halcyon days before the First World War. Beneath the strikingly well-adjusted surface, however, runs a darker current; he is haunted by the sudden death of his father and driven to escape the stifling care of his mother for risky adventures in Oslo’s criminal underworld. This best-selling novel by one of Norway’s most talented twentieth-century writers is also an evocative study of a vanished age. 'As a study of a young mind battling mental-health issues, Little Lord has contemporary merit ... this new English translation, for the most part, flows beautifully.' The Nordic Riveter NEW VIGDIS HJORTH A HOUSE IN NORWAY Translated by Charlotte Barslund 978-1-909408-31-9 175 PAGES PAPERBACK £11.95 A House in Norway is the story of Alma, a textile artist who rents out an apartment in her house to supplement her income. She is given an assignment to design a tapestry to celebrate the centenary of women’s suffrage, but soon finds that it is a daunting task. Meanwhile, a Polish family moves into her apartment, and their activities challenge her self-image as a good feminist and an open-minded liberal. Is it possible to reconcile the impulse to be generous with the imperative need for personal space? Available as ebook FORTHCOMING AMALIE SKRAM BETRAYED Translated by Katherine Hanson and Judith Messick 978-1-909408-30-2
PAPERBACK £11.95 The infatuated Captain Riber embarks with his young bride Aurora on a voyage to exotic destinations. But they are an ill-matched pair; her naive illusions are shattered by the realities of married life and the seediness of society in foreign ports, whilst his hopes of domestic bliss are frustrated by his wife’s unhappiness. Life on board ship becomes a private hell, as each becomes the other’s tormentor. Aurora’s obsession with Riber’s adventures as a carefree bachelor begins to undermine his sanity. The reader is left with the question: whose is the greater betrayal?
