For forty years, Wendy Lesser’s primary source of
information for three Scandinavian countries was mystery
and crime novels, and the murders committed and solved
in their pages. Having never visited the region, Lesser
constructed a fictional Scandinavia of her own making,
something between a map, a portrait, and a cultural history
of a place that both exists and does not exist. Over the
course of many years, Lesser’s fictional Scandinavia grew
more and more solidly visible to her, yet she never had a
strong desire to visit the real countries that corresponded to
the made-up ones. Until, she writes, \”between one day and
the next, that no longer seemed sufficient.\” It was time to
travel to Scandinavia.
