description: A witty and fearless debut from a stunning new voice Last Night in Nuuk is a work of daring invention about young life in Greenland. Through monologues emails and text exchanges she brilliantly weaves together the coming of age of five distinct characters: a woman whos gone off sausage (men); her brother in a secret affair with a powerful married man; a lesbian couple confronting an important transition; and the troubled young woman who forces them all to face their fears. With vibrant imagery and daring prose Korneliussen writes honestly about finding yourself and growing into the person you were meant to be. Praised for creating its own genre (Politiken Denmark) Last Night in Nuuk is a brave entrance onto the literary scene and establishes her as a voice that cannot be ignored.
