Lars Saabye Christensen has with his latest novel really hit it big. Traces of the City is the first book in a planned trilogy, and both the critics and the readers seems to agree that it is a story that you should dive into! This week the book is the most bestselling Norwegian novel, and on third place we find another favourite - Roy Jacobsens The Eyes if Rigel.

About Traces of the City:

We've all stood on a street corner and let the city's lights and sounds pass by. What do we hear when we listen to the sounds of the city? What traces do they leave in us? Who is at the other end of the line when the phone rings? What story can we deduce from the protocols from Fagerborg's branch of the Red Cross in the post-war years? How do the stories all connect? When someone loses something, someone else finds something different. The city and the streets are the same as before, but the people who emerge in Traces of the City (Byens spor) have never been seen before.

Saabye at his best!
Lars Saabye Christensens writing put you in a good mood, and sometimes make you laugh out loud. But the characteristic vulnerability is strongly present, both in the written sentences and between the lines. Even more so than before.
