Said about Normal

"Newly founded Normal combines high quality and low budget, it's possible thanks to total dedication and loyal friends. A devil's care is in the detail. From the webbsite to copy editing and the gloriously shining books - how queer can it possibly be?" Nina Lekander, Expressen

"Thank God for the new publishing houses who seek out the new classics others have thrown away." Jonas Thente, DN
