The Bee Pavillion by Leena Krohn is travelling to Hungary, where it will be published by Polar.
Leena Krohn‘s production continues to enchant readers and publishers everywhere: The Bee Pavillion is now travelling to Hungary, where it will be published by Polar.
The Bee Pavillion is a building of stories: it is the former support center for the psychically ill, and one of the few old buildings left in the city. It is also the headquarter of a number of peculiar associations, including the Fluctuating Reality Club. The members of the club transform reality on the daily, and the smallest things can trigger shifts and changes. In Finland, it is published by Teos.
Leena Krohn is one of Finland’s most prolific and established voices. Her production explores the unusual, the absurd, and reflects on the line dividing ordinary from weird, and sane from insane.
Polar is a Hungarian publishing house specialising in literature from the Nordics. Their list includes some of Finland’s most prominent contemporary authors, and is the home of among others Beasts of the Sea by Iida Turpeinen, A Wooden Prayer by Antti Hurskainen, and 101 Ways to Kill Your Husband by Laura Lindstedt & Sinikka Vuola.
Congratulations to the author and the publishers!
