The wait is over. The Fum d’Estampa catalog has landed, and all of these remarkable books will be shipping soon
Dag Solstad on McCormac [sic] McCarthy aka 'the guy with all the horses'.
We need more novels with titles like this: Gymnaslærer Pedersens beretning om den store politiske vekkelsen som har hjemsøkt vårt land (“High School Teacher Pedersen’s Account of the Great Political Awakening That Has Haunted Our Country”)

"Prior to Karl Ove Knausgaard, perhaps no other writer set the postwar literary agenda in Norway more than Dag Solstad." @smithigans_wake examines the career of the great Norwegian novelist, Dag Solstad and the gaps in English translation of his work. lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-mi…
The Calf by Leif Høghaug is a fascinating literary object. Translated from rural Norwegian into Appalachian English. Written in a fevered, short-circuiting narration that’s equally engaging and challenging. As if Blue Lard and Moderan walked into a bar in rural Appalachia.
This was a very informed and useful discussion of the famine crisis in Gaza.

Last but not least: Since Trump II has cut funding for inie publishers, among them @DeepVellum, there's a (already successful) crowding campaign. You can either donate to them directly or preorder their books, such as Schattenfroh, from your local indie bookstore. Link below:
Re: all the weird Fosse hate. It’s always one of two things: either he’s a symptom of toxic masculine “brodernism” OR proof of the creeping Scandinavian feminization of literature. Can't just say “not for me” without making JF fit into your cherished resentment fantasy
Great mail day, can’t wait to dive into this. (trans. @smithigans_wake) @open_letter

Kor høg var Ivar Aasen då han var 26 år? Svaret får vi no. Han var 161,5 cm. Ibsen var til samanlikning 162 cm. #festspela #grenselaust
For a short while, this was the door sign outside professor in Old Norse philology Odd Einar Haugen's office at the University of Bergen. In this sign, he is titled "professor of old stuff".
Wow, thanks to everyone who liked and reposted my Solstad photo. That was in 2019, when I was translating excerpts of his NOVEL 1987 for my MA thesis. His 70s & 80s political novels really need to get translated more (hint hint, anglophone publishers...) sites.lsa.umich.edu/mqr/2021/08/da…
