PRIZES to win! PROMOTIONS
Asta Olivia Nordenhof is an award-winning poet and author. Money to Burn was first published in Denmark in 2020 and went on to win the European Union Prize for Literature and the PO Enquist Prize, and to be shortlisted for the Nordic Council Literature Prize. Its publication caused a sensation internationally and it is set to be published in sixteen languages. The second book in the series, The Devil Book, was an instant bestseller in Denmark.
Covering much of the same ground as her last novel — the interrelation between money, sex, violence and gender, capital’s power to console or benumb — The Devil Book shares the same bristling, didactic prose, but with a welcome barbed humour... a lacerating literary harnessing of rage at a decrepit system, held together by Nordenhof’s defiantly unique voice * Financial Times * So beguiling… the book as a whole is...an undeniable success: funny and angry, tender and timely * Skinny * Nordenhof has a sort of literary X factor, cutting her story down to only the most interesting parts. As Scandinavian septologies go, it’s more fun than Jon Fosse’s, more ballsy than Solvej Balle’s. The final section…fumes with fury * Observer * So tender and pure that it is very difficult not to be moved * Kritik * Even better than the first * Politiken *
