INDEPENDENT LITERARY PUBLISHING · KALMAR, SWEDEN
A cinema of the mind, in words.
NORDICPROSA is an independent literary imprint based in Kalmar, Sweden. Its fiction makes room for wonder, contradiction, memory, and the extraordinary woven through everyday life.
Quiet, quirky & occasionally murky.
Books01 / THE LIBRARY
Three distinct worlds, each with its own questions and its own way of being told. More are in the making.
The Wordbird bookshop exists only once. The city of Kalmar exists twice. Powerful solar storms set parallel worlds resonating toward an improbable final chord. Near-death experiences bring unexpected company; a dark figure finds a peculiar place to hide. Corgis and dachshunds move through a gently humorous novel in which magic meets realism.

In a distant postindustrial future, Solveig flees danger and follows the sun. With her brother, she crosses forests, ruins, highlands, and unfamiliar communities in search of a land preserved in stories. A journey through inheritance, belonging, loss, and the courage to trust again.
