It was so easily readable, and I ran through the book so quickly. Each of the characters quickly pulled me in, and I was invested in their stories. However, it also kinda felt like an opening chapter to each of their stories. Like I want to know more. How it will continue. I want to explore their issues in greater depth. This really felt just too short and it just sort of skimmed the surface of it all.

Last Night in Nuuk by Niviaq Korneliussen, translated by Anna Halager, features a cast of queer twenty-somethings each give their own turn at narrating overlapping events in Greenland’s capital city.

See an in-depth review on my blog.

One drunken hookup brings up questions of dubious consent.

I'm surprised how much I've enjoyed this book. It's very raw going in the naturalism vein of literature, sad-ish but hopeful-ish in places. The interconnected parts of the novel, each from a different point of view worked really well together and the story (as little as there is) flowed nicely.

Is this for everyone? No. But did I devoured it? Yes!

Idée intéressante, histoire en elle-même plutôt bien mais l'écriture manque de profondeur et de travail. (c'est peut-être la trafuction)
