Last Night in Nuuk by Niviaq Korneliussen
4.0
7/10
One of my goals this year is to read 30 books set in 30 different countries, Last Night in Nuuk takes place in Greenland and I can say for sure this is my first Greenlandic book to date. The book is about a group of friends/acquaintances who each tell their own experience of the same series of events mostly taking place over one weekend. The book is heavily focused on queer themes and I rather enjoyed her style of writing. I'm not sure the story about the trans person was handled in the best way but that could just be my cisgender perspective. Overall, I found this book to be quite enjoyable and unique and was a rather quick read.
CW: bullying, gender dysphoria, infidelity, homophobic language
