French rights sold — Arctic satire meets postcolonial politics in So You Want to Own Greenland

French translation rights have just been acquired and the original English language edition will publish in Fall 2025.

This early international success affirms what we’ve long believed: this is a book that speaks far beyond its origins — and could resonate powerfully in your catalogue.

Based on the surreal but real proposal by Donald Trump to purchase Greenland, the book blends incisive political commentary, Arctic geopolitics, and biting wit. Buchanan turns the story into a profound meditation on land, ownership, and the imperial instincts that persist in the climate era.

It’s a timely, high-concept nonfiction title — deeply researched, narratively bold, and accessible — in the spirit of Naomi Klein, Édouard Louis, or even Timur Vermes.
