We’ll Meet in Stockholm
What does it mean to keep writing when recognition feels almost imaginary?
A novel about vocation, friendship, and the quiet endurance of those who create without guarantees.
We’ll Meet in Stockholm unfolds in the bohemian heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter, where six independent writers gather at La Tertulia — an aging house transformed into a refuge for those who write out of necessity rather than ambition.
Bound by their devotion to language, they share readings, silences, failures, doubts, and fleeting triumphs while confronting the shifting realities of an increasingly uncertain publishing world. Within this fragile community, literary aspiration intertwines with friendship, rivalry, loyalty, and loss.
Rather than narrating the pursuit of success, the novel turns its gaze toward the interior life of those who persist in creating even when the world seems not to listen. Writing becomes an act of resistance; companionship becomes sustenance; sacrifice becomes the quiet cost of remaining faithful to one’s voice.
The title alludes — with tenderness and irony — to the distant possibility that one of them might someday reach the Nobel Prize in Literature. For the members of La Tertulia, Stockholm is not a destination but a symbol: a metaphor for sustaining the dignity of the craft in the absence of certainty or reward.
Through intertwined lives, irreparable losses, silent loyalties, and ethical tensions, We’ll Meet in Stockholm is a sober and deeply human journey into the heart of literary creation — where hope and irony coexist, and where greatness is measured not by prizes, but by fidelity to one’s own voice.
