ACROSS THE ROAD
Literature and Fiction2019 · 176 pp

ACROSS THE ROAD

Petter Brevik

Across the Road is a three-part novel. The book starts with its narrator and protagonist – a resourceful young man from the Westside of Oslo – being diagnosed with a serious genetic illness, and his subsequent attempts to meet with family and friends in a half-hearted attempt to escape his condition. Along the way, he is told the story of his father – a man he never knew and from whom he inherited the disease. Across the Road is a disquieting account about heritage, illness and social decline. At the same time, there is something unfathomable about the text – a desire to express the inexpressible, and to find answers to questions that are difficult to answer: Is there such a thing as "fate"? Is it possible to communicate your innermost feelings? Can one free oneself from heritage and become someone else? The novel is a journey towards death, a waiting room in purgatory, and the narrator's language is sober and industrial – stripped of enriching adjectives. Peter Handke is a clear influence, as well as William Faulkner, Franz Kafka, Stig Sæterbakken, and Dante.

PASSENGER STORIES

Ylva Berger

A mother and son go on a reconciliation cruise in the Mediterranean. A woman has a breakdown at Heathrow. And someone else witnesses an accident on the bus driving through Oslo. The characters in Ylva Østby's playful debut novel wrestle with the same questions no matter where they are in the world: Who are we in relation to other people, and in relation to our own memories? What is true and what is real? An initial praise to the author: These texts are fiction. She has exquisite use of literary means, linguistic imagery, asssociation and motives. In her best stories she shows us that "less is more". I predict a great future in fiction for Ylva Østby. KLASSEKAMPEN

The Porter Residence

Gøril Emilie Hellen

Ten year old Svanhild thinks she lives in the safest place in the world: the porter residence by the city hospital, where her father Johan has a post as a porter. She idolizes her brother Einar, almost ten years her elder, even though the adults say that his imagination has run wild. Svanhild is going to Girl Scout camp, but she misses her brother, who's been admitted to the psychiatric hospital. The day Svanhild comes home from camp, tragedy strikes. The Porter Residence is a poignant and poetic novel about a family that falls victim to the post-war healthcare system and treatment methods of that time.

On the Edge of Vigeland

Roy Jacobsen

Roy Jacobsen's celebrated essay on his many childhood visits to the Vigeland Park, the world's largest sculpture park by a single artist, and his mother's mysterious dentist appointments, is now a book of its own, accompanied by photographs. This personal essay is a must-read for all Jacobsen fans. 'Not only does the text impart knowledge about Vigeland's artwork, but it also approaches something I understand to be the driving powers in Roy Jacobsen's authorship, rife with countless strong, complex female figures as it is. Making the invisible struggle visible isn't just a goal for his newest series fra Barrøy on the Helgeland coast (…) The essay is appalling, upsetting – and encouraging.'KLASSEKAMPEN'I wouldn't have believed that one of the year's best reading experiences would show up in an anthology about Oslo's art collection.'AFTENPOSTEN

As part of his preparations, he decided to walk in the author's footsteps, and took notes along the way.

Edge of the Sea is a stylish and sharp novel about missing – and remembering – whether it is in the form of rooms, clothes, cartoons, or an old Beetle that's still sitting in the garage. Halås has her own way of capturing memories and feelings.
