Jakob Ejersbo

Jakob Ejersbo made his literary breakthrough with Nordkraft, a searingly realistic novel that changed the face of Danish literature. From 1974-7 and 1983-4 he lived in Moshi in Tanzania. He died in 2008 and did not live to see the publication of The Africa Trilogy. Mette Petersen's previous translations include My friend Jesus Christ by Lars Husum and Exile, the first of Ejersbo's trilogy.
