WE’’LL JUST DRIVE, AND THEN SEE

Hilde Stålskjær Osen

A young woman moves to a small town on the coast, where the highlight of the day is the passing cruise ship which docks for an hour each night, attracting people to the quayside. Otherwise, life consists of chatting with friends, waiting for her partner and driving along the two routes the road takes: towards the ferry, or towards the bridge. We'll Just Drive, And Then See is a novel which, through sober realism, concerns some of the most common aspects of human life: the longing for something out of reach.

All the Light and All the Dark

Brynjulf Jung Tjønn

Pregnant Hildegunn calls on her mother Vibeke for the first time in many years. By this action we are thrown into the story about Vibeke and her childhood in a small village on the West Coast of Norway. Gradually we draw closer on a dramatic happening that has come to put its mark on both of the women. All the Light and All the Dark (Alt det lyse og alt det mørke) is a story about coming to terms with the past, communicated in a beautiful and sensual prose. "The Brage Prize-winnning author Brynjulf Jung Tjønn writes engagingly and drivingly good about lack of care in his new novel. (...) Much of the quality of the novel is in the concrete, simple and clean language that suits stories and situations that are now easy to communicate. Sometimes, when I feel that the narrative is about to become teardripping, the melodramatic tendency is weighted up by a sharp cut style that does not paint the dramatic highlights in uunneccesary broad strokes. Tjønn has composed a driving and engaging story."VG "Tight and intense."BERGENS TIDENDE

According to the Sea

Lasse Wardenær Fosshaug

With his debut novel Over the Bridge (Over brua) from 2013, Lasse W. Fosshaug showed that he masters the classic worker's novel. In his second book, Fosshaug takes the proletariat with him into the dystopia. According to the Sea (Alt etter havet) takes place on two levels: We meet the protagonist Ivan Ivanovitch as he arrives in our era after a journey through time from a relatively close future. He quickly finds lodgings in a hotel in town, and work in the local aluminum factory. Everything is going according to plan. And while life goes along as usual in the little village, with payday beers on Fridays at the Chinese restaurant, downsizing at the factory and football matches on TV, the reader gets to know more about Ivan's life before he ended up in a village in Norway – and you start to sense what direction the world as we know it is going in. This is a book about the little people in the big story. About the individual's role in space and time. The book reads as a thriller, with an innovative mix of worker's novel and dystopian sci-fi, and the reader is challenged to reflect on the role technology plays in our lives."Lasse W. Fosshaug has written a novel that manages to entertain, and at the same time take its reader dead seriously."MORGENBLADET"Relevant Science Fiction has often been used to comment the present. Fosshaug does this, and he does it well. (...) A novel that at its best almost erases the border between fantasy and realism."NRK "In Lasse W. Fosshaugs novel the end of civilisation is in the making (...) It is the way he paints the picture of the riun of civilization that make the story glow, with a matt, grimy shine of almost existential melancholy."KLASSEKAMPEN
