Happy Book Birthday to The Loneliness in Lydia Erneman’s Life by Rune Christiansen, translated by Kari Dickson!
Today marks the final release of our Spring 2023 Season: a wonderful translation by Kari Dickson of Rune Christiansen’s The Loneliness in Lydia Erneman’s Life! We are overjoyed to be sharing this special novel with an English language audience.
Happy Book Birthday to The Loneliness in Lydia Erneman’s Life! This is the second work by Rune Christiansen, translated from the Norwegian by Kari Dickson to join our Literature in Translation Series: a much anticipated follow up to Fanny and the Mystery in the Grieving Forest. Celebrated in Norway as one of Christiansen’s “best novels” (Klassekampen), The Loneliness in Lydia Erneman’s Life has been called, “unusually beautiful” (NRK P2), “wonderfully vivid” (Berlingske Tidende), and a “riveting” work to be “read in undisturbed silence” (Stavanger Aftenblad). This award-winning book sheds a singular light on life in all its quietude and complexity.
