We are happy to announce that Rosinante has acquired Danish rights to Laura Lindstedt’s Finlandia Prize winner Oneiron (Teos 2015). Rosinante is home to authors including Zadie Smith, Sofi Oksanen, Bret Easton Ellis, James Joyce and Peter Høeg, among others.
“Oneiron is a wonderful and ambitious novel, original and intelligent. At the same time it is impressively tangible and almost corporeal, with such an interesting and warm tone of voice.”
– Marie Vinter, Editor, Rosinante, Denmark
Lindstedt’s critically acclaimed novel tells the story of seven women who meet in a white, undefined space after death. Rights to Oneiron were previously sold in Hungary to Scolar, in Bulgaria to Faber, and in Lithuania to Versus Aureus.
Praise for Oneiron:
“Selecting the winning work was, in the end, easy: its voice, imagery and world were so distinctive. After giving myself permission to throw myself into its unreal world, everything suddenly became very real…The author’s ingenious way of renewing the form and structure of the novel is downright striking, and she does so in an extremely reader-friendly manner!”
– Heikki Harma, Finlandia Prize juror, musician and journalist
“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
”Oneiron is like a stream that spills and spins towards something – death, at least. Before that happens, we live. Every life and death is unique. Stunning.”
– Tuijata culture blog, Finland
“On an international scale this is an exceptionally bright pearl of high literature – a novel that is close to perfect.”
– Aamulehti newspaper, Finland
