Czech rights for PUSH, PACE, POSITION, PRAY by Miika Nousiainen sold to Host!

Great news coming from one of our longtime authors: Czech rights for PUSH, PACE, POSITION, PRAY by Miika Nousiainen have been acquired by Host! The deal was closed by Martti Berner at the Ahlback Agency.

Here’s a bit about this humorous and charming anti-midlife crisis novel based on the author’s real-life experiences, blurring the lines between literary and autofiction:

When a man turns 50, he either gets a motorcycle or he does a 400 meter run. For Miika Nousiainen, who does not have a driver’s license and is not interested in rebellion, the only option is the track tour and his goal: the 400m run World Championship in Gothenburg.

Will Miika shape up into a real lightweight frequency runner? Even become the Finnish record holder in his age group?

For any of you who love running or simply relate to the “what do I do now?” of aging, we hope you enjoy PUSH, PACE, POSITION, PRAY.

Rights to PUSH, PACE, POSITION, PRAY still available in all territories except Finland and Czechia.
