The Gates of Hell

Norwegian title: Helvetesporten

Thematically, Helvetesporten looks at Rodin's sculpture of the same name. In these three short stories we meet artists who are at a crucial point in their lives, both artistically and in their interpersonal relationships. In one of the stories we meet Rodin himself, who takes in a young Rainer Maria Rilke to assist him in his work with the sculpture.

Hilde Lindset's second book is a powerful collection of short stories!
