SUMMARY:NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE | THE SCHOOL OF NIGHT
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! Nordic Book Club meets monthly via Zoom to discuss contemporary literature in translation. On May 12\, 2026\, in coordination with our West Nordic art exhibition Inside Voices\, Outside Light\, we’ll be discussing The School of Night by Karl Ove Knausgård. \nKristian Hadeland\, young and ambitious\, has moved to London to study photography; he knows that he and his art are destined for more. His family never understood him\, and his fellow photography students bore him. But when he meets Hans\, an eccentric Dutch artist\, the future he yearns for becomes possible—as long as he is willing to sacrifice everything and stop at nothing. Twenty-four years later\, Kristian sees his dreams come to fruition when a major retrospective of his work is held in New York City. As his past catches up to him\, Kristian’s world begins to crumble. Success comes at a price\, but is he prepared to pay it? \nIn a thrilling twist on Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus\, Karl Ove Knausgaard masterfully spins a cautionary tale about the lengths that we will go to achieve success—and how far we are willing to fall. His most daring and macabre novel yet\, The School of Night is an indelible tale about dark temptations and moral depravity\, and what we forget when we bargain with the devil. \nThe School of Night is available in paperback and e-book from Penguin Random House and from Bookshop.org and other retailers. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE | BEASTS OF THE SEA
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! Nordic Book Club meets monthly via Zoom to discuss contemporary literature in translation. On June 9\, 2026\, we’ll be discussing Beasts of the Sea by Iida Turpeinen. \n“Turpeinen matches the heights of Andrea Barrett” in this sweeping and intimate tale about a fateful encounter between man and nature spanning three centuries and linked by a long-extinct denizen of the northern oceans (Publishers Weekly starred review). \nIn 1741\, thirty-two-year-old naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller joins Captain Bering’s Great Northern Expedition to scout out a sea route from Asia to America. Plagued with hardships\, captain and crew never reach their goal\, but they do make a unique discovery\, a gentle giant that will be named for the young explorer who described it: Steller’s sea cow. In 1859\, the governor of the Russian territory of Alaska sends his men to recover the skeleton of the massive marine mammal rumored to have vanished a hundred years before. Two years later\, a revered Helsinki professor hires a talented illustrator—a woman!—to make precise drawings of a set of bones sent from afar. \nThe ill-fated beast will help introduce to a skeptical public the concept of human-caused extinction. Finally\, in 1952\, the Museum of Zoology assigns its most talented restorer the task of refurbishing the antique skeleton\, a testimony to the sea cow’s fate that will fire the imaginations of future generations. \nA breathtaking literary achievement and an adventure that crosses continents and centuries\, Beasts of the Sea is a tale of grand ambition\, the quest for knowledge\, and the urge to resurrect what humankind has\, in its ignorance\, destroyed. \nBeasts of the Sea is available in paperback and e-book from Hachette Book Group and from Bookshop.org and other retailers. \n\nRegister
