LEA’’S FACE

Norwegian title: Leas ansikt

This narrative takes place in Oslo's artistic environment in the 70s. Serck's sixteenth novel is a suggestive depiction of young love that offends conservative conventions and the merciless conditions of the art scene.

A young aspring author falls in love with the somewhat older sculptor Lea, who is beautiful and charming, but also an alcoholic harbouring a death wish. All the while, his father strongly warns him against continuing the relationship.
