Kristin Lavransdattar by Sigrid Undset
Ti Amo by Hanne Orstavik
Trilogy by Jon Fosse (comprised of three novellas, this work received the Nordic Council’s Prize for Literature in 2015, and could be read for Novellas in November, too, hosted by 746 Books and Bookish Beck)
Septology: The Other Name I-II by Jon Fosse
and The Bookseller of Kabul by Asne Seierstad (which is not in the photograph because I have temporarily misplaced it). This book is nonfiction, which could be read for Nonfiction November, for whom one of the hosts is Readerbuzz.
These are books most fiercely calling my name, and from which I will be reading and reviewing this month. Oh, that November was longer!
Please join in my reading anything translated from Norwegian this month, and leave the link to your review for us to enjoy below:
Thrilling! I'll post a review on November 15
ReplyDeleteOoh, I can’t wait to see what it is that you are reading!
DeleteI had a busy end of Oct/beginning on November, but things are settling down now. I've gathered the books, written my sign-up posts, taken some pics....and now ready to read :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Undset - I decided it was too big for me to tackle this year!
Yes, Kristin Lavransdattar IS too big to tackle in month. Like Septology, it is three books in one volume; I have already read the first one, and I enjoyed it very much, but I am too hungry to reread The Other Name to continue with it now.
DeleteSo glad to hear you’re ready to read, too!
I too will be posting later in the month, but I'll be on it. :-)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your post, Susan!
DeleteMy review of A Modern Family is up--it came in a little early. https://hopewellslibraryoflife.wordpress.com/2024/11/04/norway-in-november-review-a-modern-family-by-helga-flatland-translated-by-rosie-hedger/
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your review, Lisa, for a new-to-me author.
DeleteI'll be adding a few books over the month Meredith look forward to your reviews
ReplyDeleteTrust you to add a few books, Stu! You’re always reading something fascinating, and I am looking forward to YOUR reviews!
DeleteFollowing Emma’s lead, I also read Pan by Knut Hamsun. I think the story will haunt me for a while.
ReplyDeleteShe gave us a wonderful review, didn’t she? I will have to pick it up myself, but perhaps after the short stack I have beside me is finished.
DeleteI read your review on Goodreads, and I thank you for your contribution to this event!
DeletePan is marvellously insane.
DeleteWell, Pan seems to be THE book of the challenge…I guess I better read it, too!
