It´s a Rat!

Norwegian title: Det ble en rotte!

Maia Kjeldset Siverts

There are feelings in all cultures.Feelings can have different colour, smell and taste.Feelings are mixed and then stiffen.In the end you have a carrot cake.

Maia Kjeldset Siverts (1990-) has made a debut with a wild collection of short prose about amongst other things confused communication, masturbation, narcissism and people that turn into animals. To mention but a few of the topics. "It´s a Rat! is a by all means a damned little pearl of a debut."STAVANGER AFTENBLAD

"The texts demonstrate a wild creativity. Mari Kjeldset Siverts combines whims in abundance with the ability to write both unexpected, concise and humoristic."DAG OF TID

"(...) it is more or less impossible to say what the next sentence will be. (...) When it is funny, it is really funny, and when it is enerving it is really enerving. Different readers will probably have different levels of tolerance levels. (...) This is a book that will appeal to those who are not easily appealed. It might be recommended not to read all the 38 texts in one great gulp, but rather spread the reading out over a couple of days, like a bag of candy. It´s a Rat! is a book that works perfectly in it´s own premises. LITTKRITIKK.NO

"Siverts writes with equal parts fun and seriousness, and her texts undoubtedly has a reckless bounce to it."KLASSEKAMPEN
