Fiction seems to go in waves and the current trend seems to be for Scandinavian authors. First there was [[The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson and Reg Keeland (translator)]] and its trilogy. Then, [[The Snowman by Jo Nesbo and Don Bartlett (translator)]] was named as one of Richard and Judy's Book Club selections. Now, we have ''Strindberg's Star'', a debut novel from Swedish journalist Jan Wallentin who, if he repeats the success of those others, we will be hearing lots more about.
