What good does it do for a person to wake up one morning this side of the new millennium
Nominated for the 2024 Nordic Council Literature Prize, Kim Simonsen introduces a new perspective to Faroese literature rooted in the materiality of all natural organisms. The rhetorical title of the collection posits the crisis that is underway. Simonsen asks: as a species among species, all comprised of the matter of the universe, how has our compulsion to hierarchically categorize everything estranged us from ourselves, each other, and the rest of this world? Simonsen challenges our anthropocentric pursuit of knowledge, exploring the human relationship with itself as an element of the natural world. The collection follows the process as the narrator reckons with estrangement from his fellow organisms, and turns to the greater materiality of the world to find continuity, connection, and solace.

Narko
En sommernat i farvandet ud for Orø. En håndfuld mænd i våddragter læsser tunge lærredssække ud over rælingen på et stort sejlskib og ned i fem ventende gummibåde. Sækkenes indhold er et trecifret millionbeløb værd. Inden længe er en af mændene død, hovedet knust med et jernstang. En anden vil være lammet af frygt, overbevist om at de kinesiske triader vil myrde ham. Operationens bagmand befinder sig under varmere himmelstrøg. Han ved, at et enkelt fejltrin er nok til, at politiet får færten af hans planer ... NARKO er den sande historie om opklaringen af den største narkotikasag i Danmarkshistorien. "Undervejs tænkte jeg flere gange, at man sgu ikke behøver læse kriminalromaner, når man dykker ned i en sag som den her ..." - Kriminalinspektør Ole Wagner

Criminally Queer
This book provides a coherent history of criminal law and homosexuality in Scandinavia from 1842 to 1999, a period during which same-sex love was outlawed or subject to severe legal restrictions in the Scandinavian penal codes. This was the case in most countries in Northern Europe, but the book argues that the development in Scandinavia was different, partly determined by the structure of the welfare state. Five experienced scholars of the history of homosexuality describe how same-sex desire has been regulated in their respective countries during the past 160 years. With backgrounds in history, sociology, and gender studies, the contributors represent an interdisciplinary approach. Their c...
