LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2026
'You know, love is love, he says. But what about the revolution?'
Intricately built and wickedly humorous, these five interconnected short stories are all about one thing: money.
From an interview with a child-star-turned-thief to the mysterious death of an employee at a drug manufacturer - or the couple feigning marital bliss to keep their inheritance, Ia Genberg carefully unravels the value we place on both money and people.
What does it really mean to be in debt to someone? How does our financial worth permeate the ways we think and feel? And what do we lose when we supposedly win? Small Comfort skewers its characters, slyly implicating the reader along the way.
A brilliantly original and thought-provoking collection from the author and translator of The Details, shortlisted for the 2024 International Booker Prize.
'A delightful and exquisitely executed literary mini-study that brings to mind Joan Didion' - Expressen
'Her humour and delight in language make the stories crackle with life' - Svenska Dagbladet
'I haven't read anything better this year' - Sydsvenskan
'Genberg captures, with intelligence and insight, the afflictions of our time' - Göteborgs-Poste
