Ane Nydal

Ane Nydal has long been part of the literary scene, both as a reviewer and as an essayist. Now at last she is making her debut as an author. In her anthology of short stories, Famlere, we meet people who are trying to sort out their lives. We follow them as they try to live more healthily, to set boundaries and to belong. Whether it is the friendship between a homeless girl and a policeman, a rootless American in Israel, unconventional gender roles or questions of guilt and atonement, Ane Nydal shows mastery of wide ranges of theme and style
