An Early Frost

Per Pettersen has a new book coming out. His first English translation Out Stealing Horses was a runaway success for the Twin Cities' Graywolf Press. Like his earlier novel, To Siberia is set in a very cold Scandinavia, but is full of vivid characters. Time Out New York has a preview of the book and calls it "a frostbitten, beautifully rendered addition to the “family can really screw you up” genre."

To Siberia goes on sale September 30.--David E
