After The Sun
After the Sun opens portals to our newest realities, haunting the margins of a globalised world that’s both saturated with yearning and brutally transactional. Infused with an irrepressible urgency, Eika’s fiction seems to have conjured these far-flung characters and their encounters in a single breath. Juxtaposing startling beauty with grotesquery, balancing the hyperrealistic with the fantastical, he has invented new modes of storytelling for an era when the old ones no longer suffice.
From a major new international voice, mesmerising, inventive fiction that probes the tender places where human longings push through the cracks of a breaking world.
Translated from the Danish by Sherilyn Nicolette Hellberg
Winner of the Nordic Council Literature Prize 2019, the Michael Strunge Prize, the Montana Prize for Fiction, and the Blixen Literary Award.
Longlisted for the 2022 Republic of Consciousness Prize.
