ABOUT THIS BOOK
The first major study of contemporary Nordic petrofiction. Through a variety of cultural texts, including the Nordic noir mystery Smila’s Sense of Snow, Rosenbaek Reetz exposes the cultural, political, and environmental tensions in which green frontier ideas must coexist with the ongoing reliance on oil and gas and critiques the paradox of Nordic nations positioning themselves as climate leaders while remaining deeply tied to fossil fuel economies.
