Welcome Jens!

We are proud to welcome Jens M. Johansson to Northern Stories. He is one of his generation’s most praised voices, with awards and great reviews to his name. He’s sharp and funny, kind and direct – a man you want to have with you both in a wedding and in a funeral. Read his books and you’ll understand what we’re talking about.

Jens has written five novels and is ready for his sixth this fall. Middle Class Hero (Lavterskeltilbud in Norwegian – out in August) is a wonderful, satirical and honest novel about trying to capture and describe the true essence of the working class. More on that soon…
For now, welcome to Northern Stories Jens! We’re looking forward working with you and your books.
