New in Norway

Marjun Syderbø Kjelnæs’ play Gentukamarið (The Girl’s Room) which is nominated for the Nordic Council Literature Prize 2023 is now published in Norway. The Norwegian title is Jenterommet and it is translated into Norwegian by Lars Moa and published by Orkana.

Gentukamarið is a pop-horror-comedy play and was published in 2022 by publisher Ungu Føroyar as a literary double work together with the poetry collection Karmageitin (The Karma Goat). Both are now published in Norway, and the rights have been sold to USA to be published in 2024.

FarLit is rooting for Marjun to win the Nordic Council Literature Prize to be awarded in Oslo on 31 October!
