Here's Hanne Ørstavik and her translator Martin Aitken entering the National Book Awards ceremony yesterday evening in New York. Hanne Ørstavik’s novel LOVE was one of the five finalists for the translated fiction prize, but lost out in the end in what was surely a very close race. Congratulations to Hanne and her co-finalists, Olga Tokarczuk, Negar Djavadi, Domenico Starnone, and, above all, winner Yoko Tawada. . . @hanne_orstavik #hanneørstavik #love #kjærlighet @archipelagobooks #martinaitken #nationalbookaward #norwegianliterature #osloliteraryagency #bestbook #bestread
