Hotel Sapiens by Leena Krohn is travelling to Slovenia, where it will be published by Sodobnost.
Sodobnost has acquired the Slovenian rights to Hotel Sapiens by Leena Krohn, marking the 7th foreign language territory for this title.
In Hotel Sapiens we follow a group of people who are staying at the hotel, except the hotel is also a madhouse, a research station, a training camp and a museum. The guests are kept under observation as carriers of a dire and incurable disease, humanity, and the outside world seems to have collapsed.
Leena Krohn has been active since the 1970s, and has since become one of Finland’s most legendary authors, whose writing forms an impressive body of work. Her sly humor and lucid language speak of our existence in very strange realms with courage and intelligence. One of the greatest visionaries in Finnish literature, Krohn’s works have been translated to over 20 languages.
Sodobnost is a Slovenian publishing house boasting a selection of literary fiction and high-quality children’s literature. They are the Slovenian home of our very own The Day The Whale Swam Through London by Selja Ahava, and Radio Popov by Anja Portin.
Congratulations to the author and the publisher!
