“A disturbing, engrossing portrait of a tiny community living beyond society... Too often novels packed with this many ideas sacrifice emotion in favor of mounting a ponderous argument; Norlin instead writes visceral episodes that speak for themselves.”— The New York Times Book Review, Mar 24 2025![]()
★ “Norlin’s writing (as translated by Olsson) is clever and incisive... Ultimately, this is a treatise on humanity, on the things people need and the power and frailty of human connection. This is a novel that will stick with you.”— Kirkus Reviews, Mar 20 2025![]()
“While the novel stands up for the dignity of the human amid the casual violence of progress, it contains something more existential at its heart. It is haunted yet curiously timeless, a study of the battle against loneliness and despair.”— Times Literary Supplement, Mar 14 2025![]()
“The Colony manages to tackle themes of environmental catastrophe, capitalism, exploitation, and care, in turn rendering human fragility, hubris, and desire without ever feeling oppressively dark.”— Asymptote Journal, Mar 11 2025![]()
“Chronicling the everyday dramas of the café’s patrons over its decade-long existence, the novel is more an ode to a vanished world than a portrait of any single individual… Seethaler’s Vienna is evoked with a wistful and tender folksiness.”— Asymptote Journal, Mar 11 2025![]()
“Tense, taut... The Tokyo Suite scratched [an] itch for stories of class struggle. Sharp and smoky, to be inhaled rather than binged, it’s a novel for the working woman, in every sense of that redundant phrase.”
