Overview Døden i arbeid

The artist Mark Rothko killed himself in 1970, leaving behind nothing but a collection of mysterious paintings. This novel takes the form of Rothko’s fictional suicide note, but from a completely different reality. He lives in the southeastern Norwegian city of Drammen. As does the artist Agnes Martin. Death at Work is an exploration of the possibilities of form; a removal of the boundaries between biography, art and fiction.

Reviews Døden i arbeid

Begjær, sjølmord og lede 25.02.2020

«Kristian Klausen fortsetter sin spenstige og fruktbare litterære krysspollinering»

 
Jan Askelund, Stavanger Afteblad

«Kristian Klausen er ein forfattar med spenstig fantasi som han stadig slepper laus på heimbyen Drammen. Til glede for oss andre.»

Marta Norheim, NRK P2

«En styrke ved romanen er galleriet av fargerike og uortodokse personer, og den troverdige skildringen av et menneskes vei mot undergangen. Stilen er usentimental og ærlig, men også bildeskapende på en måte som skaper interesse hos meg som leser.»

Turid Barth Pettersen, Klassekampen
