Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name

  • About the author MS

Tonight, Monday Feb 5th, Vendela Vida reads from her novel, Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name, at the B&N in Chelsea. The reading starts at 7 PM.

“Vida’s second novel couldn’t be released at a better time: It’s a quick read with surprising warmth and weight, perfect for a cold January weekend indoors…What may linger most vividly with readers is the gelid beauty of the Lapland setting, evoked nicely in Vida’s clean and simple prose…Vida’s descriptions quietly conjure …magic.” – Time Out Chicago

“Vida’s laconic wit and uncompromising character sketches set her book apart from her generation’s tired quest-for-self genre.” – New York Magazine

“Vendela Vida’s reputation continues to grow steadily, seeded by her affecting debut novel…and furthered by her firm hand on the tiller of the Believer…With sharp prose, Vida pursues her abiding interest in the legacies of loss and violence.” – Flavorpill
