The Court Physician

Tor Bomann-Larsen

The engrossing re-telling of a story that has been told in many ways, but never before in the form of a novel. In Tor Bomann-Larsen’s first novel, the starting-point is an historical scenario that never ceases to fascinate us: the last days of the Russian Tsar family. The Court Physician is the story of an internal exile and of the nature of hope. It is also an unforgettable and unfulfilled love story.

Sick Rose

Torkil Damhaug

"I can't shake the thought that there was nothing until the day I saw the girl with the wound, that that's when it all started..." Seemingly by chance, the novel's narrator encounters a young woman with a fierce, dead wound on her face. He follows her, and thus becomes entangled in an investigation where past, present and imagination flow together. More and more clues lead the narrator towards a mysterious people-trafficking league that is mysteriously connected to his own history. Sick Rose can be read as a guided tour through hell; it is an entertaining and bizarre tale that finds itself in a fascinating intersection between the thriller, the psychological novel, and the absurdist tradition.

Maria & José

Erlend Loe

José loves Maria more than anything else in the world. José lives inside Marias ear - far into the ear canal. At foot it can take him the better part of half an hour to walk from her ear to her hip. By bike three minutes. At nights he plays music in front of her eardrum. In the day he keeps her body in shape. This classic illustrated books is one of the first written by Erlend Loe, and it is characteristically illustrated by Kim Hiorthøi.

Herman

Lars Saabye Christensen

At school there is Ruby with the big red hair, which someone claims houses five bird nests. At home there is Herman’s mom who works at the Jacobsen´s Colonial, and with a laugh so loud that the Nesodden ferry runs on ground and the City Hall clock comes to a full stop. She can also throw a lunch pack pretty far. Herman´s dad is a crane operator, and from his seat he can see as far as America and beyond. At the fourth floor, Grandpa is laying in a four-poster-bed. He cannot walk, but he is still fit as a fiddle. So is Herman, until the day when the hairdresser asks to talk to his mother. Winner of the Norwegian Critics Award. A very entertaining and highly readable book. Wise and rich in content. DAGBLADET

Ward 23

Ingvar Ambjørnsen

A chronic care department with twenty patients at Lier psychiatric hospital is the setting for Ward 23. It is a sharp and harsh depiction of psychiatric institutions, starting from Lier hospital in 1974 and 1975. Andreas Wiegert starts working there as a school-weary 18-year-old. Andreas aims to become a nurse at the hospital, but with time that goal fades as he sees how badly the systems treat the patients. Ward 23 is a novel about how patients are often dehumanised.
