Bohman’s Andromeda is now out in the US!
Therese Bohman’s critically acclaimed novel Andromeda is now available in the English language, published by Other Press in the United States.
“The subtly gorgeous prose highlights the affection between two like-minded individuals, both of whom are trying to preserve what they value the most. This is perfect for devouring in a single afternoon.”
—Publishers Weekly“A confident, erudite novel, comfortable with developing at its own pace…Deeply provocative in its quiet contemplation.”
—Kirkus Reviews
Set against the backdrop of Stockholm’s art and literary world, Andromeda follows a young woman navigating her first job at a prestigious publishing house. As she develops a mentor-like relationship with a charismatic, enigmatic editor, questions of desire, influence, and morality arise.
Praised for its nuanced characters and Bohman’s trademark ability to dissect the complexities of human relationships, Andromeda has aslo captured the attention of readers and critics alike in the original Swedish release.
“When I read her latest, Andromeda, I think of Hjalmar Söderberg. Bohman’s prose is atmospheric with hints of melancholy. And it’s around the incurable loneliness of the soul that the story moves. […] In Andromeda, longing gets its answer in a genuine encounter. The novel is also about the great literature, the lasting works of art and what they give us, about a beautiful life filled with content. That Therese Bohman is an art writer is easy to see in the beautiful prose. The book fall has only just begun, but I’m sure Andromeda will be among the best it has to offer.”
