Jonas Eika in Rave Review from NRC

The Dutch edition of After the Sun, Jonas Eika’s critically acclaimed short story collection, has been lauded by newspaper NRC:

“The gripping stories with which the young Dane Jonas Eika debuts show their great talent. They stimulate the reader’s imagination constantly […] stories that take place all over the world, where the tender and the vulgar alternate effortlessly, and where the excesses of our economic order are magnified so strikingly that you are convinced that the imagination of artists will always win over the dirtiest commercial development. […] When the writing is at its best, it can be interpreted in multiple ways, where Eika never loses touch with the reader’s imagination. […] This is fiction that doesn’t hold back, that aspires to a higher, more fascinating mission than a pat on the back for mastering an art.”

After the Sun was published in the Netherlands by Koppernik on February 22nd, 2024.
