At the same time, teacher Johanna Brekke arrives in town and Lars is attracted to her. But what is Johanna running away from, and who is friend and who is foe in the quest for truth? Believe Me When I Lie is a psychological crime novel that spans a wide canvas, from eastern Norway to the far west of the country.

Very good.… This book debut proves to be a solid and suspense-driven thriller, where the author shares her keen insight into the human mind.RINGERIKES BLAD

Yoko Ono is a charlatan

Ingvar Ambjørnsen

In a basement apartment, in the house of the widow Annelore Frimann-Clausen in Grefsen, Elling is blogging. "Why start blogging - now?" he asks himself. "Because life is short, and I have already started moving into the age of dust." Elling writes about anything that falls into mind; his favorite foods from when he was growing up, about where on earth people come from, things from the news and memories of his mother. He writes about gardening, bacon and sauce, about life in the small basement apartment. But he also has stron opinions about a lot of things. Amongst others Yoko Ono. Yoko Ono is a Charlatan is a collection of texts written in the years between 2013 and 2020. Some of the texts has been a part of Ambjørnsen´s successful tours. Others have been published on the Facebook-page Elling-nytt and on the Cappelen Damm Blog.

Now You’re Fucking with my Heart

Alexander Fallo

Alexander Fallos’ debut poetry collection now You’re Fucking with my Heart revolves around a failed relationship, the loss of a father and the emptiness of finding yourself totally alone for the first time in your life. The poems’ narrator is slowly sketched out through unanswered phrases and sometimes-pathetic silent cries. See me now. See me now. Look at me now. The poems in the collection are often short and concise, and some can be described as a stream of sentences that may have been spoken, could have been spoken, ought to have been spoken or should never have been spoken. The white emptiness of grief-stricken phrases is interspersed with small drops of humour, as well as a possible description of our modern times.

The Dead of the Year
Literature and Fiction2020 · 608 pp

The Dead of the Year

Stig Aasvik

Stig Aasvik writes his life. The Death of the Year expands on the themes covered in his two most recent novels, The Lofoten Wall and The Mayor of Oslo. Once again, we are in Stig’s head. We read about childhood and grief, problems large and small – like combining cohabitation and parental responsibility with self-loathing and other acute existential challenges. As always, Aasvik’s gaze is honest, curious, sharp and dreamlike.
