Jonas Eika’s Novel Praised by Danish Magazine

Open Heavens, Jonas Eika’s new novel, has been highlighted by Danish culture magazine Soundvenue, saying this about the book:

“A heretical, feminist collective novel about the Church with a capital C’s historical violence, a groundbreaking ode to the long, tiring work of rebirthing the world anew, an anti-capitalistic page-turner and a caringly poetic vision about another and better world in closer cohesion with nature, time, matter and God. […] Eika writes in such a way that things and the world shine in a new, changed light. […] It is a tender, devotional prose – gracefully demure, perhaps – that senses the world through its details and provokes the reader to imagine that things can be different – and perhaps they already are. […] Even though a historical Medieval novel might sound far from the author’s two previous books, Open Heavens is unmistakably Eika’s in its critique toward civilization. The Medieval setting becomes an allegorical reflection of the anguish of our own time […]. Jonas Eika has written a wistful Medieval novel about salvation, the Virgin Mary and the greatest questions. […] a very irresistible ’ointment the size of the sun’.”

Open Heavens was published in Denmark by Basilisk on October 24th, 2024.
