The cold is other people

Cornelius Jakhelln

When he was young, from 1994 to 1997, Cornelius wrote poems. The power and strength of these poems are unmistakably similar to the author's voice today. This is a raw and almost unpolished poetry collection about being young, about feeling like an outsider and searching for an identity in ever more extreme ideas and surroundings.

Leon’s secret

Tor Fretheim

An intimate and personal story about Leon who discovers that he's in love – with Bendik.

One day, 16-year-old Leon gets a cinema ticket from a boy who's a total stranger. They sit side by side in the cinema, talk to each other a bit and nothing much else happens. But Leon notices that something has changed. He thinks about the boy all the time, but when they finally meet up again, it's clear that the boy's brother doesn't want them to have contact. Gradually, Leon understands something he had never realised before – that he falls in love with boys.
