First published in 1992, Smilla's Sense of Snow instantly became an international sensation. When caustic Smilla Jaspersen discovers that her neighbor---a neglected six-year-old boy, and possibly her only friend---has died in a tragic accident, a peculiar intuition tells her it was murder. Unpredictable to the last page, Smilla's Sense of Snow is one of the most beautifully written and original crime stories of our time, a new classic.

He worked as a sailor, ballet dancer, and actor before becoming a writer. A History of Danish Dreams (1988), his first novel, received favorable reviews. More than thirty nations have published his novels.

Martin Aitken, a linguist with a PhD, gave up his university position to translate literature. His novels have been published on both sides of the Atlantic, and his translations of Danish short stories and poems have appeared in magazines such as The Literary Review, AGNI, Boston Review, and A Public Place. He lives in a little town in Denmark.
