Laura Lindstedt’s Finlandia Prize-winning Oneiron continues to dazzle critics and readers. From book bloggers, literature prize jurors and major newspapers alike, the novel has received uniform praise. With 12 sold territories under its belt, the latest sale being to Polish Foksal’s literary imprint W.A.B., Oneiron is sure to gather glowing reviews also outside of Finland when the foreign editions start coming out later this year.
We’d also like to remind you that the deadline for the translation grant applications for FILI – Finnish Literature Exchange is the 1st of May. Please see FILI’s website for more information.
PRAISE FOR ONEIRON:
“Oneiron is bewildering, wild, multi-layered, abundant and memorable. It is fierce and merciless but at the same time beautiful. It is one of its kind.”
– Kirjakaapin kummitus literature blog, Finland
”There’s nothing predictable in Laura Lindstedt’s elegant and in every way skillful analysis of humanity.”
– Turun Sanomat newspaper, Finland
“The sprawling narrative flows masterfully smoothly.”
– Savon Sanomat newspaper, Finland
“Lindstedt uses the tools of literature to form a work of art with its own rules; one can only admire her execution and her ability to depict our world to a startling effect.”
– Helsingin Sanomat newspaper, Finland
“I’ve never read anything like Oneiron. In the best possible way.”
– Lukutoukan kulttuuriblogi literature blog, Finland
“The jury was glad to see how Oneiron seems to rise effortlessly to the best of international literature.”
