Mean Quotes by Karin Tidbeck

Karin Tidbeck

I come from a nation where fantastic fiction has a very low status, unless it fits into some very specific categories or is written by already established authors. I don’t by any means try to hide what I write, but the way people think in categories here is pretty extreme: it blots out discussing the actual work on its own terms. That’s made me loath to talk about my own work in terms of genre, because once you get a label, it sticks and poof go a slew of potential readers and reviewers because eww, fantasy cooties.

Some stories I write in Swedish, some in English. Short stories I’ve almost exclusively written in English lately, mostly because there’s such a small market for them in Sweden and it doesn’t really pay either. So, the translation goes both ways. What also factors in is that I have a different voice in English, which means that a straight translation wouldn’t be the same as if I’d written it in English originally.
