Scandinavian Literature

[close] Read and discuss Scandinavian literature in translation as part of the Nordic Book Club. Every month we select a book from a Nordic author—selections range from classic to contemporary literature. During the last week of the month the moderators will post several questions/quotes to get the discussion started, in the hope that that everyone will join in with their own questions and comments. If you are in New York, join us for a lively discussion at Scandinavia House on the last Tuesday of the month. (58 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016). Advance RSVP is strongly recommended for the in-person discussion, visit scandinaviahouse.org for more information.

[close] Thanks to a tattooed, adventurous , bisexual computer hacker named Lisbeth Salander, Scandinavian crime fiction is now one of the most popular categories among mystery readers around the world. So far Noir-flavored books from Scandinavia have sold more than 6 million copies in the United States and 35 million copies worldwide and have become a publishing phenomenon. Given the increasing interest in the Nordic works of crime fiction, Mystery Tribune has created this group for Goodreads members to discuss and exchange insights about this sub-category. We publish a weekly list of Best Sellers in Scandinavian Crime, based on the sales data in the United States and usually pick top sellers or new titles from this list for our discussions.
