"Every story is a travel story—a spatial practice."This sentence by Michel de Certeau (1988,115) states the starting point of this volume, which traces the spatial tracks and trails of contemporary Nordic literature in order to map the imaginative geographies of the region. Moving from Danish to Swedish fiction, from Finnish to Norwegian literature,Contemporary Nordic Literature and Spatiality invests both in describing the specific cartographies of recent Nordic fiction and in fabricating methodological and conceptual ways of studying its spatial practices.
The citation by de Certeau refers to his book, The Practice of Everyday
Life, and especially its chapter titled "Spatial Stories." Like de Certeau and several advocates of literary spatial studies, this book also underlines the importance of spatial features relating to settings, locations, orientations, or textual spatiality.
