Linnea Axelsson: A Chorus of Voices

Winner of Sweden’s most prestigious literary award, Ædnan is a mesmerising verse-novel about displacement, loss, and resistance. Following two Indigenous Sámi families across generations, Swedish publication Norrtelje Tidning describes the novel as ‘a statement that we are bigger and freer than the borders that shut us out from each other.’ Linnea Axelsson talks to Marjorie Lotfi about giving voice to those under threat of erasure.
