Over at Jeff VanderMeer’s blog there is some good news about a forthcoming Cheeky Frawg publication, Jagannath, a collection of stories by Swedish writer, Karin Tidbeck. Given that the book is being blurbed by Ursula K. Le Guin, China Miéville, Karen Joy Fowler and Karen Lord, you don’t need me to tell you that it will be good. And indeed I haven’t had a chance to read it yet. But I was on a panel or two with Karin at Ã…con and I can assure you that she is a very smart lady. I suspect that Sweden is about to make a splash in the literary world for something other than noir (though I can’t promise an absence of dead things).
