Adlibris.se doesnt got it yet. Same as last time, with Lilla Stjärna.
Do you know why bokus.com is earlier than the others? And, are they really? They claim to send your order 2-5 days after having receiving it, while netshops I'm using in Norway send it immediately (my record is having the book in my mail box the day after order it).

Welcome! :)
johnajvide said it will be included in the English translation of "Paper Walls". I believe it will be available in 2011 but I don't know exactly when.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I feel right at home ;). I didnt know paperwalls was also being translated. The anticipation factor has reached its peak for me now. Cant wait for those. Out of curiosity, is paperwalls also a ' full fledged' novel? thanks again for the replies guys.

'Paper Walls' is a collection of short stories, it has it's own forum here http://www.let-the-right-one-in.com/for ... m.php?f=19

JAL's second novel is 'Handling the Undead' and his third is 'Harbour', those two have already been translated into English and have their own forums here too :)

Paper walls consists of ten (I think it was) short stories, plus Let the Old Dreams Die. Two or three of the stories are quite long, nearly 100 pages, "Gräns" (Border?) which is the best short story I've ever read - period - and "The Final Handling", an epilogue to the novel "Handling the Undead".

Thanks for that Aurora. I have got ahold of practically every novel JAL wrote, once they were released in English (LTROI, Handling the Undead, Harbour). I'd have to say LTROI is the best of the lot, for me anyway. And am proud to be a JAL fan.

Out of curiosity, Has the final handling been translated?. I was in the subsection of the final hanlding in this forum and a poster had mentioned that there was one lurking around in the net. Do you know how I can get ahold of this, if its still around? and Drakkar are you swedish (just curious :P)

I think so, but since I don't need it I don't know anything about it. I'm Norwegian, meaning I have no problems understanding and reading Swedish. :)
