Additional literature 2023

In addition to the books that have been chosen for this year's Nordic Literature Week, there is a large selection of other Nordic books that reflect this year's theme, the Nordics in the world, in various ways. Here you can find a list of additional reading by Nordic authors. The books can either be used as a complement to Morning Dawn and Morning Dusk, they can be used independently or replace this year's selected works (but you will have to provide the books yourself).

 

The list is made in collaboration with the Nordic Literature Week's reference group, consisting of one representative from each of the Nordic countries.
