In November, maybe you saw FictionFan’s announcement of the Henrik Pontoppidan Review-Along, and maybe you didn’t, but it’s not too late to plunge in! Although the impetus has mostly been hers, we are co-hosting the review-along to take place beginning in January and ending March 16, 2026.
The novel we picked is A Fortunate Man, which is also published as Lucky Per. It’s a real doorstopper, though, and also may not be easily available, so if you want to participate, any work of Pontopiddan’s will do. FictionFan has listed in her announcement the works that are available. You can see my review of The White Bear here, and it is novella length for those who don’t want to read as much.
We hope you’ll pop in and read with us! Pontoppidan was an important Danish writer, a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, and before I found The White Bear I had never heard of him. Maybe our review-along will acquaint a few more people with him.
Slip either of us a comment to get going!
What? Me Read? 
I’m in, thank you!
Looking forward to getting stuck in!
Me, too!
