Unavailable in English: The Death of Orvar Klein

In Daniel Katz’s absurd and melancholy 20th-century classic, bookseller Orvar Klein turns to literature for everything he needs to know, whether it’s how to swim or how to win a fistfight, and somehow prevails, even when set upon by christeners, crooks, and con artists. Full manuscript translation seeks publisher.

Unavailable in English: The Blue Phantom

A Finnish commuter plane vanishes after taking off from Tallinn, a bank is robbed in Kerava, and riots flare in Helsinki with protesters demanding peace and brotherhood between Finland and the Soviet Union. The year is 1940, the war is on, and Agent Mujunen is in the middle of it all.
