Description
Sven Holm (1940 - 2019) was a celebrated Danish author and playwright. He made his debut as a 21-year old with an acclaimed story collection in 1961. In 1974, he was awarded the Grand Prize of the Danish Academy, where he was made a member in 2001, the same year he won the Danish Critics Prize for Literature, followed by the Holberg Medal in 1991.
Jeff VanderMeer's NYT-bestselling Southern Reach trilogy has been translated into over 35 languages. The first novel, Annihilation, won the Nebula Award and Shirley Jackson Award, and was made into a movie by Paramount in 2018. Other works include Dead Astronauts, Borne (a finalist for the Arthur C. Clarke Award), and The Strange Bird, which continue to explore themes related to the environment, animals, and our future. His most recent novel, Hummingbird Salamander, a finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award, is his most urgent call to environmental action to date. Called 'the weird Thoreau' by The New Yorker, VanderMeer frequently speaks and writes non-fiction about issues related to climate change and storytelling. VanderMeer is the president of the Sunshine State Biodiversity Group, a nonprofit devoted to rewilding, biodiversity education, and environmental journalism. He lives in Tallahassee, Florida, with his wife Ann, cat Neo, and a yard full of native plants.
