Mirror, Shoulder, Signal by Dorthe Nors, translated from Danish by Misha Hoekstra

A finalist for the International Man Booker prize from 2017, Nors’ novel is an extremely intelligent one. Simultaneously showcasing introspection, humor, and struggle with social expectations (often in the same sentence), the Danish author has brought a work of impressive balance. One of the hallmarks of an excellent writer is to convey an immense amount of meaning in a short frame, and Nors may very well be one of the best around at that.
