asko sahlberg – European Literature Network

From HELSINKI NOCTURNE (“Yhdyntä”) by Asko Sahlberg, translated by Emily Jeremiah and Fleur Jeremiah, introduced by Emily Jeremiah

This is the opening of Helsinki Nocturne (“Yhdyntä”), a novella set in 1944, in a wintry, war-time city under attack from Soviet forces. The action takes place over the course

The European Literature Network was created with the mission of championing great writing from Europe in the UK – and doing it together. Open to writers, translators, publishers, agents, booksellers, festival directors, arts managers and journalists, ELNet is a free, collaborative hub for sharing news and views.

ELNet operates without funding or grants (unfortunately) and is therefore dependent on the passion, professionalism and dedication of our core team and on an extensive network of volunteers, supporters, partners and donors.
