The Nordic Council Literature Prize has been awarded since 1962 and this year celebrates its 60th year of inspiring reading. Over six decades, the Nordic Council Literature Prize has time and again set itself apart as a prize that rewards literature that breaks boundaries and sets new literary horizons.
Sofie Hermansen Eriksdatter, prize secretariat manager for the Nordic Council Literature Prize (Nordic House in Reykjavík), has selected 10 winning works which represent a selection of highlights in the literature prize’s 60-year history.
