Pratilipi Books

Novels by three of Sweden's leading writers, in English translation, from the newly established imprint of the Hindi-English literary magazine, Pratilipi. Andersson's story is set in 1357, seven years after the Great Plague came to Sweden; Pleijel's novel unfolds under the shadow of the Balkan wars of the 1990s; and Swahn plays with the idea of doubles in this novel set in a quaint Greek village.
