Overview Gutta på skauen

9th April is a bad day for Thorvald: his marriage collapses and the Germans come marching up Oslo’s main street, Karl Johan.

Thorvald decides to become a resistance fighter. He finds a cabin in the wood, puts an advert in the paper and sets up the Thorvald Group – a group which has, for various reasons, been overlooked by posterity. One reason may be that they spend more time fixing up the cabin than carrying out sabotage actions.

It has been called the novel of his generation. His novel Doppler, which came out in 2004, has been critically acclaimed for it's depiction of the modern man, and The Guardian named it 'Book of the Year'.
