The Novel NOTHING is now also published in ICELANDIC
THIRTY SEVEN: We’re delighted that Janne Teller’s novel NOTHING, 25 years after it was originally published, has this week finally also made it into the ICELANDIC language! Thus it is now in a total of 37 languages – something we think worth celebrating, particularly remembering all the resistance and bans this book was met with in the early years. (Stamina and persistence: perhaps this is the one place Janne’s literature meets her world of endurance horse riding)
THANK YOU so much to Icelandic publisher Ívar Gissurarson at Nyhöfn publishing house for making this possible!
