We are happy and proud to welcome Nikolaj Frobenius to Northern Stories, an international acclaimed novelist and screenwriter. His books has been translated into numerous languages and he has since his international literary breakthrough in 1996 received lots of international awards.
Among Frobenius’ works you’ll find such iconic titles as the classic thriller Insomnia, which Christopher Nolan later turned into a major Hollywood movie starring Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hilary Swank.
