"A brilliantly original novel in verse, New Passengers tells the story, taut and well-crafted, of a young woman's disorientation and search for her adult self. . . In his masterful translation, Misha Hoekstra has captured the complex shifts and nuances of Tine Hoeg's unique poetic style, her sense of timing, and her humor, bringing to English one of Denmark's most compelling new voices." - PEN America

On her first day of work as a teacher, a young woman meets a married man on the train. They begin an affair, a ride which proves as jolting as her transition into the new job and the authority that comes along with it. New Passengers is as audacious as it is enthralling, as wry as it is moving. Eliciting the speed of an express train and the immediacy of a text message, every line shimmers with quick-witted insight as Hoeg casts a critical eye on the social mores that shape our lives. Winner of the Bogforum's Debutantpris, the prize awarded each year for Denmark's best fiction debut, the novel was adapted for the stage at the Royal Danish Theatre.

A song to new love, to the romp of the daily commute, to teachers and students everywhere, and to those flailing through adulthood like fish out of water
