Kim Leine

Kim Leine is a novelist born in 1961 whose books are catalogued by Open Library under Greenland, historical fiction, missions and the clergy of the eighteenth century. His best known title in that catalogue is Valdemarsdag, a novel whose subject headings place it in the colonial and missionary history of Greenland, and the catalogue lists nine works in all. The record is brief, giving only his name, his birth year and the subjects under which libraries have filed his books, so this entry describes the shape of his work as the catalogue shows it and nothing further. Readers interested in Nordic fiction that turns on faith, colonial administration and the Arctic will find his books grouped together by those headings.
