Granta 175: Scandinavia - Thomas Meaney

Dedicated to Scandinavian writing, this issue of Granta showcases a literature that continues to pack in more force, pound for pound, than almost anywhere else in Europe. Karl Ove KnausgÃ¥rd turns his critical eye to the work of Tarjei Vesaas; diaries on motherhood, depression and creativity from Eeva Kilpi; and the first publication in English from Lars Norén's monumental En dramatikers dagbok. Featuring new fiction from Nobel laureate Jon Fosse, Solvej Balle, Helle Helle, Vigdis Hjorth, Malte Tellerup, Kyrre Andreassen, Pirkko Saisio, Jonas Eika, Sigbjørn SkÃ¥den and Olga Ravn. Poetry by Søren Ulrik Thomsen, Asta Olivia Nordenhof, Ingela Strandberg, Sunna DÃs Másdóttir, Espen Stueland, and Audun Mortensen, photography by Inuuteq Storch, Stephen Gill, Maja Daniels, Ikram Abdulkadir and paintings from Mamma Andersson.
