Sandefjord Girls’ Choir

Norwegian title: Sandefjord jentekor

Stig Aasvik

The narrator – or is it the author Stig Aasvik? – is in a desperate situation: He has been asked at short notice to step in as a substitute teacher at the writing academy in Bø. There, our bewildered protagonist immediately enters into a scandalous relationship with a young student. All hell breaks loose, with everything being jeopardised at once.

Sandefjord Girls’ Choir is the seventh novel in a series where we encounter various iterations or versions of the author himself. We travel seamlessly through time, and with text written like a stream of consciousness, the series has evolved into a kind of magical realism.
