The Funeral

Norwegian title: Bisettelsen

Lars Saabye Christensen

’The plan was that I would visit the scene near the Dakota building, where Lennon was shot, where his glasses fell, and I sort of thought that I would leave four flowers there—from us, from The Snafus, because there are still four of us, right? Wouldn’t that be the thing for me to do? It is sort of my assignment.’

The Funeral is the last novel in the trilogy which began with Beatles (1984) and continued with Bly (1990).

‘The Funeral is a worthy and brave conclusion to a remarkable success story from Norwegian contemporary literature, even if Kim disappears with several secrets intact.’DAGBLADET

‘… a fine, touching and worthy conclusion to Kim Karlsen’s adventures.’ VÅRT LAND
